@fk4515: Wings Over Houston 2003. Low pass @ 100' AGL, 300 kts & 10 degrees nose-down. Landed & taxied up 100 ft nose-to-canard with my Wright 1902. I thought the SOB was gonna run me over. But then the air crew climbed out, walked straight over to my plane and shook my hand. The pilot pulled off...

@K00lkane: The contraption at 0:32 is the John W. Pitts Skycar. Pitts spent what must have been a tremendous amount of time and money trying in vain to make his idea work. He even went through the trouble of patenting the machine. Even though his design was a failure, we can still admire his ten...

1/2 Avery-Chanute triplane, 1/2 Lambie "Hang Loose"

Aaaahhhhhh! This is like the time I saw Santa Claus drive by in a pickup truck when I was 7!

Hey kids, wanna watch us run down a rhino with a helicopter, shoot it in the butt with a dart-gun, stuff it in a crate, and ship it off to St. Louis?

YOU ARE MY NEW GOD! This track and my Peltor P7's make 62 yappin' female payroll & benefits techs completely silent! My sanity is restored! Now I can get back to my own incredibly tedious payroll job and actually think about something other than how long all of thier bus commutes took this morning.

Shut up wife! I'm trying to watch a video!

...and later, the minature r/c mechanics back at minature r/c PHi are going to kick you're minature r/c pilot's ass for trashing thier ship like that.

OK, so you've found the "broom closet". Do you know where the "hell hole" is on a 212?

BULLY!

Challenger: Go at throttle-up.

Go COG Go! Engine #4 at the end of the video was built in 1897 and last ran on the line in 2004. But she's undergone ultrasound testing of her boiler and I keep hearing rumors that she may run limited service again this year. Thanks for the video.

@XRaDer360: The broadcast version of the intro is not what CBS originally posted as a trial/teaser on Youtube. My video was made before the new soundtrack was recorded & before video of the new show was available. It was created as a response to the awful trial/teaser. Apparently CBS watched my v...

If you haven't already seen it, I'll recommend "One Six Right". The "Opening Sequence" and "Flight" are the two best on Youtube.

@ghettoperson257: The B-29 had one as well.

Everything you see in this video was sprung from the imaginations, dug from the dirt, and willed into being by men and women. The power of 43 Hoover Dams concentrated into the most powerful non-destructive machine ever built. It stands as a tribute to what men and women can acheive, given the wil...

I was home sick that day and watched this broadcast live on CNN. When it exploded I don't think anyone could comprehend what they saw. A few seconds afterward all I could think of was the scene from "The Right Stuff "with all of the rockets exploding. And that's when it started to sink in... that...

Look at your man, now look at me, now your man, now me, now over there, now up, now over there again haha I'm Wess Borland.

@B25Flyer: There was a Buff parked 45 degrees to the nose of a Wright Brothers glider at Wings Over Houston in 2003. Now THERE was a an interesting comparison. I heard that WOH wanted the Wright glider displayed under the Buff's wing, drop-test style, but somebody's insurance company nixed that ...

Where's the intro to this song? That's the best part!

"The sofa had been drinking...."

The sofa had been drinking...

@946HZJ: Its BOTH a rotary AND a radial

This engine is known as a "Vertical four", unlike the early Wright engines which were inline 4's laying on thier sides. All Wright engines used aluminum blocks. It would have originally powered a "Model A Military Flyer" or possibly a "Model B". Wright flying machines had very light wing loadings...

When you add another 569 ft in length and 6 MILLION cubic ft to it, let us know.

If you had to choose a single image or sound to represent a war, you would be hard-pressed to find a better representation of Vietnam than the UH1.

Any idea which gun this is or which Battery? My father was one of the FDC's for Battery C and was there when this film was made. It is exactly as he described it and exactly as appears in his photos, including the hill southwest of The Rockpile. Pop never mentioned that the NVA were THAT close, ...

WHAT? no "world's smallest turkey"???? who edited this?

Oh lookie, Airbus has just invented the DC-8-73.

"Gentlemen, I will now fly." ...Wilbur Wright, 1908

Nice, but would have been better if they had kept the engine nacelle shot and remembered to use the fisheye lens and round blackout filter. Ditto Bjoh2: glad the technology of the 70's limited the speed of the orig. buzzclips to something comprehensable. Gen Y has totally missed the boat on this ...

Round blackout filter & fish-eye lens! Win!

It works better at 59 seconds. I tried re-editing it by mixing the "old" new intro and the classic show intro. Definate improvement. Waiting to see what I can cram into the 35-second format. Lots of required elements.
