Default Inflight Videos Not RV related!
Following are two videos, thought some of you might enjoy them!

http://www.onesixright.com/video/aerials.html

I just wonder how many Marines it to spit polish the P-51 in this video!

This second video is the Switzerland Air Force. You will need a high speed connection for this one, it about 17 minutes log.

Default Background Informations
A little background information about the MIRAGE from the Swiss Airforce:

They flew the Mirage from 1966 until 2004. Additional solidfuel-rockets for quick starts and an liquidfuel rocketengine to speed up to Mach 2 and 66'000ft high, so they could reach every place in Switzerland within minutes. It was a good plane, but also awsome loud when they start with afterburner, (that was normal)

It looks that they fly realy close to the mountains, thats normal for Swiss Airforce Pilots.

The One Six Right video just about brings a tear to your eye! That's just beautiful! I have the DVD reserved, and I can't wait to watch it!

The other video is just simply breathtaking.

Great Stuff!

Default I'm sold!
After watching that video...I'm sold! Reserving my copy now. Seeing that DC-3 gave me chills. Remarkable cinametography with regards to the air-to-air shots.

I can't wait!

Man - you sure can tell that it was shot in high-def! Beautiful footage...I totally agree about the DC-3 - and having Enya for the music track fits perfectly.

If you will go back to the video site and click on the web site in the lower left conrner. Once there, clink on DVD at the bottom, it says its an AN A-26. There is also another 5 minute video on the web site under trailer.

EXTREMELY COOL!

If I had the loot for a plane like that, the DC-3 would be it!

Nostalgia, known icing, tailwheel and multi engine all in one package. PLUS, bring all your friends with you!
