Amazingly cool and interesting plane footage

[Ginetta G15 Girl]

It isn't landing gear, it's beaching gear. The Martin Mars is a Flying Boat and not an amphibian.

Kermit walk thru of his giant water bomber and prep for flight. Really interesting how they remove the landing gear once its on the water

Something random that came up in the Youtube side bar while I was looking for videos of Cure songs...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyMaM4aIqZk

...an F-14 blown (partially) off the deck of the USS Independence behind another F-14 hooking up to Cat 4.

"Suspend! Suspend!"

"We're getting blown, we're getting blown! Arrrrgh, arrrgh!"

"God damn it..."

I felt bad, giggling at the audio, but not knowing for sure that the crew survived their ejection into the ocean...


...but the comments section below the video is full of comments from crew members, and the flight crew were recovered intact so I guess it's OK to have a snigger?


Sorry if this has been seen before, but it's the first time I've seen it so I thought I'd share it.

Maybe it’s a new kind of surface-launched unmanned submarine?

This is why you need to make sure cargo is tied down

I thought at first that this was going to be video of the Bagram 747 crash.

Checked the last few pages but I apologise if this has been posted already.
