Posted by  on 1 May 2012, 7:18 pm

Here’s a view that us ultralight pilots never get to see … unless we also fly for one of the heavies. Neat. Enjoy!

Hitch a Ride on a SRB

Posted by  on 27 March 2012, 10:00 pm

This is some of the most amazing – and beautiful – video I’ve ever seen. A Solid Rocket Booster’s “eye” view of a Space Shuttle launch. Watch it in full-screen mode!

Birdman Jeb Corliss – Ouch!

Posted by  on 24 February 2012, 12:38 pm

Hi All, No doubt you remember my recent post about an Australian getting killed in NZ recently while doing a “wing suit” jump. And you’ve no doubt said to yourself more than once that it’s only a matter of time before someone gets killed doing this. I won’t say any more … just watch this [...]

Heard of the CTLE?

Posted by  on 18 February 2012, 10:21 am

Yes, the CTLE; CT Law Enforcement. Tulsa, OKLA police have hit on the idea of using a CTLS for airborne policing instead of a helicopter. It’s vastly cheaper to operate and performs all the same functions easily. So why not? Pigs in space, indeed! )

The German

Hey it’s only a commercial… but I know you’ll love it! Somehow, I don’t think CASA would approve.
