BEAUTIFUL! Interesting choice of wheeler landing and long, fast, tail-high roll-out. Quote
BluBear Posted October 5, 2017 Author Posted October 5, 2017 No sound on this one, but rare footage indeed. Quote
Sweper Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 An epic scene from the 1987 movie "Empire of the sun" with a young Christian Bale watching incoming low flying P-51s. Some real flying compared to Red tails. Quote
BluBear Posted October 26, 2017 Author Posted October 26, 2017 P-51 cadillac of the sky! One of my favourite films for aerial sequences, featuring the late great Mark and Ray Hanna. Ray is the pilot waving at Christian Bale's character. 2 Quote

delta7 Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Here is how they launched a walrus from a ship https://youtu.be/6dmNyts7f1w. Bet they had fun doing all that under fire in the pissing rain in the north Atlantic 1 Quote
Sweper Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Cool! He already had a bullet hole in the canopy Quote
DD_Arthur Posted October 30, 2017 Posted October 30, 2017 Wow. I wanted to join the navy when I was seventeen. I wanted the chance to wave a little blue flag with the letter B on it. I wanted to join the pilot line to the guide hawsers and chock the pulleys. I could have done it. I could have been a contender. I could have been the ticket man at Fulham Broadway station. They turned me down.......sigh Thank gawd! On a slightly more serious note; yeah, how the hell did they manage all that in any sort of a sea? 1 Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted November 1, 2017 2. Administrators Posted November 1, 2017 True Sweper, very true. I do get a bit twitchy though seeing aircraft been flown as low as that - it does seem like gambling on a huge number of things not going wrong, any one of which could reduce the aircraft to scrap in an instant - let alone the pilot and/or spectators. Probably just me... Quote
