You need to get youtube.com. This video has been floating around for
about 6 months. Nothing against YouTube -- I like it and view it occasionally -- but when it comes to aviation videos they tend a bit too much toward the "train-wreck" attitude. Lot's of explosions and fire, with too little explanation. Our site is different because of the knowledgeable commentary that accompanies many of the videos. For instance, go to the "Military" section, and view the F-14A Tomcat explosion video. Then read commentary from several expert sources, including from the pilot himself, all sent to me for inclusion on the site. As a GA pilot my knowledge-base is somewhat limited when it comes to heavy-metal, so years ago I recruited Tony Clay, a former RAF pilot, to be the site's resident expert. Viewers can email Tony directly with questions or comments, and he will respond directly, or he will point them in a direction where they may find the answers they seek. He's been an invaluable source of aeronautical information over the years, and viewers worldwide owe him a debt of gratitude (as do I). The page has grown far beyond anything I ever intended (it was *supposed* to be merely an aid to navigation for our fly-in guests!), but it's been a lot of fun and very educational. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
