I never did that. I wasn't even familiar with it. I'm just guessing here, but that looks like a training route or familiarization area developed for Iraq/Afghanistan. They always try to train people in an environment similar to what they will be flying in on deployment.

There are some other good videos like that taken of the mach loop in Wales. I never flew in that one either.

The 22 driver wasn’t messing around.

AH-1s Zulu (given name Viper to avoid the connotation of your Granddad’s Cobra) is a hell of an evolution from original Cobra and advent of attack helos. more in common cockpit wise with F/A 35. I thought didn’t go far enough. I lost but argued for a single seat attack Osprey

Protors or Ospreys are James Bond like capabilities. Maintenance intensive still. Improving. Safety? Got a rep early and tough to shake. Some mechanical mishaps. Pilot Error for others. Lost a good friend early and he diagnosed the problem correctly and then had a fight with the 3 flight computers all the way down.

It costs a lot of capital any way you want to count it, chasing innovation. Making helos go far and fast (Ospreys) and jets hover (Lightning IIs & Harriers) Particularly when you’re the smallest service. But the other girls are usually looking to control our aircraft operationally. Innovate or die.

What happened to you, Coyote?

This guy was an EXTREMELY heavy hitter in the realm of all things military and political

Please come back!

Same, hopefully he's just neck deep in writing his book

Russia is unveiling their newest fighter jet at an airshow on Tuesday, even under wraps it looks suspiciously like an F35... China must've given them some of our stolen specs

Why are all the videos on the front page of this thread deleted? You all on some kind of watch list now?

Nah, I've seen it happen in various threads on numerous subjects

But it IS kinda weird that a few remain, yet others were pulled down years ago

How about the story of a human weapon?

A sailor has become the first woman to join the Navy SEAL ranks, she must be one bad bitch...

V-3 cannon prototype.

Two US Army soldiers with a captured Sprenggranate 4481 projectile, which would have been fired from the V-3 at a rate of one every 6 seconds.

Man those Nazis sure knew how to build war tech

Waaay ahead of the game in rocketry, jet engines and even stealth

Who knows where the Spitfire's famous wing design came from?

No clue at all, but if your answer is the Heinkel... the Brit engineers say it isn't so

Compared to the Horton or ME 262, thats an ugly little sucker that should be sent back to the drawing board
