  1. WWII Rescue Buoys. Yes, there's at least one shot of an aircraft in it!
  2. From the 'Free Documentary - History' Youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/@FreeDocumentaryHistory/videos
  3. Apparently was ferrying the thing to New York. Ran one tank dry, switched tanks, but the fuel selector wouldn't switch/fuel wouldn't flow from the fuller tank. Landed with the assistance of a driver who recognized a problem, and blocked traffic for him. They pushed the plane off the road, got him fuel, and he took off again, on his way.
  4. How the Soviets were able to publish their own F-14 booklet, even though they never received one of the Iranian F-14s: https://theaviationgeekclub.com/heres-how-soviets-were-able-to-publish-this-f-14-booklet-for-their-top-fighter-pilots-although-russia-never-received-any-iranian-tomcat/amp/?fbclid=IwAR1VlKbTCnZwxyqFL16POqPUyR4jqxpFVkZrpGQYToA_cwQ5zSEmlYyOQdY
  5. I'm getting an odd four pitch background noise in the A. Annoying as all get-out. I've isolated it to the left TF-30. When I shut down the left engine, the noise seems to go away. Any idea what it is?
  6. Would be fun - if I could make it. We'll see about times.
  7. Pardon the horrendous earrings: Pardon the horrendous music:
  8. A few other, slightly unrelated videos by this guy:
  9. Encompassing the highest kill rates, as well as a rundown of the most successful aces at the end. Some glaring inaccuracies, but overall, relatively decent.
  10. Photographs of U.S. and British aircraft over the North Atlantic, taken by Soviet aircrews. https://theaviationist.com/2020/06/12/take-a-look-at-these-rare-photos-of-nato-fighters-intercepting-soviet-tu-95rt-bear-d-during-the-cold-war/?fbclid=IwAR0t_se5uLlVQBl3dCGy5enENEzc3cKwFPfPT-5gyetiZTQmMHhtkOJicC0
  11. "Things you do for loveee... Sorry, money, I meant money. Here is the probe and drogue demonstrator for the F-16 CFTs. For some space reserved for fuel, the starboard CFT houses the probe to allow the Falcon to refuel from probe-drogue tankers. This was done ton win the Indian MMRCA where India needed this type of refuelling due to its Midas fleet. The Falcon also retained the regular receptacle for boom tankers."
  12. Air USA, which does adversary flights for the U.S. military, just bought all of the Royal Australian Air Force's F/A-18A/B fleet. Air USA had previously bought and operated MiG-29 Fulcrums, among many others. https://getpocket.com/explore/item/this-man-owns-the-world-s-most-advanced-private-air-force-after-buying-46-f-a-18-hornets?utm_source=pocket-newtab
