Air Show Videos


I didn't realize I was so close to the sound system speakers. I'm not sure how much of the Sound of Freedom you are going to be able to hear over the music.


The Beechcraft 18/C45 Expeditor, affectionately called the Bug Smasher.


An F16 Fighting Falcon flies low and slow!


A fast pass of four F16s in formation.


Look closely. Only one of these planes is right side up!
"Oh I so want to do that!" not.


I love how the guy in front of me cringes - a high speed crossing of two F16s coming at each other in opposite directions. Wicked fast. The plane coming the other way is nearly just a flash of white paint.

I found a crazy clip yesterday of a little stunt plane doing a stunt when its right wing snaps off and everyone is screaming but the bloke actually lands the plane by flying in with the left wing in the air (so sidewards) and parks the plane without any injury to himself or spectators..... now I need to try and find it again and give you the link, its truely amazing..

great little videos..

Cool videos. (i wish i could figure out how to do this video stuff) I have a pic of two jets flying in "mirror" formation with my airshow pics. I was happy it came out as well as it did....because they fly by pretty darn fast, don't they?

The clip of the 4 planes in formations was awesome. The sound system and the sound of the planes was a good mix, I thought.

I've just put going to an air show on my list of things to do.

OMG Marmite! That crash landing must of been gut-wrenching to watch in person! I'm glad the pilot climbs out in the end.

I'm with Deanna, the music and the sounds of the planes were a great combination. :)

P.S. Kero's not as enthusiastic about the videos as the rest of us... He ran for cover when I started playing them.

wehn i was a kid daddy was stationed at kelly afb in san antionio..i can't remember the plane but it was the largest plane that flew at the time ..only 2 bases in the us had runways big enough for it to land on..our apt backed up to the run way..every time that fucker took off or landed everything fell to the floor...windows rattled, and your teeth would hurt...after that no sound bothered me.

I'm still gasping for breath after watching that video that Marmie had you link to. Holy crap!!!

I love those shots you got of the planes flying overhead. The music wasn't too loud, I was able to hear the roar of the engines just fine. Awesome!
