Was that Gump puttering by in his spam can about 23 minutes in?

had to play around with it but it works try finding it in hulu then it worked for me.

Shortfielder:

Holy crap, that was the best thing I've watched in a while. You GOTTA do it full screen.

I was at the big airshow at Nellis yesterday and walked the whole length of that ramp - twice. It's a hike.

Thanks for sharing that.

That was pretty awesome....makes me wish I was younger so I could ride in one.......what a rush that would be.

I saw this in the IMAX theater at the Air & Space Museum in Washington this past March....Don't miss it if you get a chance at an IMAX near you. The computer screen doesn't do it justice.

I hope you enjoyed the show, I was there performing with my team, the USAF Wings of Blue Parachute Team. The weather Sunday wasn't much fun though.

This video brought back memories. I've done 7 red flags, and numerous other flags back when I was a jet engine mechanic / crew chief for F-15s and F-16s. I think I was there for the filming, not sure. I know I was video'd but I've never seen that footage since. The video is good, some stuff is fluffed up and not quite accurate, but that's the way those things go, some good CGI tossed in there too. It's a great film though.

Did I ever! Can't remember seeing more boy's toys in one place. That F22 looks fake and flies like a UFO.

Well, whoever put the elbow grease on that P38 deserves a medal.

And lookee there - those nose gear doors on the B-1 were my first job out of college! Which means this design has been around a LONG time.
