Kermit Weeks had a lucky escape on his Sopwith Pup's first flight after a very long restoration from Hurricane Andrew damage.

Well, that's one of the strangest things I've seen for a while!Edit. Found it. North American XF-82 and NASA used it for Ramjet tests.
Probably got something wrong.

Will they always land in that manner on a runway, or can they do an orthodox landing also?
Just seen this link to some video of the support Voyager tankers arriving and departing Gander.

A-10 Warthogs Land On Abandoned Runway In Estonia

extremely good footage, uploaded June 10th so this was probably filmed not long ago.
LOVE the A10!
I guess after last year's escapade with the Air National Guard, they went for something wider than a road...

The newly built Draco Turbine coming in for a very slow landing (and a pretty much vertical takeoff) - if there weren't cars in the background I'd have said they slowed down the video for the landing : )
The guy who created the aircraft did a build series, probably the definition of an aircraft enthusiast!

It's based on the PZL Wilga - with teh original air cooled radial piston engine replaced by a turbine.
The Wilga was designed over 50 years ago with slow flying as one of its characteristics.
Despite all that, slow flying in a Wilga can still catch you out. I attended an airshow in Ireland in 1984 where three Polish registered Wilgas took part. They flew a slow flying demonstration during which one of the Wilgas stalled and spun in, killing the pilot.

A few videos as it's a channel, not sure how many of you have seen the Flightchops channel on youtube. Flies and flies on many interesting aircraft, flying a DC-3 out of Oshkosh at Airventure last year, flying along on the B-29 Fifi and his eventual solo on a T-6 3 weeks ago so that he will be able to fly warbirds like his grandfather who was a Spitfire pilot during the war with 421 Sq RCAF. Jet on boards too. Good Go-pro coverage.

The DC-3 flight and landing at Oshkosh shows just how busy it is airshow time.

So this was another interview with the builder. Apparently a modern version called the Wilga 2000 (only 24?) built.The Wilga was designed over 50 years ago with slow flying as one of its characteristics.
