Awesome Airplanes!

I was just watching some very cool low passes, and not knowing where to share them I thought I'd make a new thread that can either thrive or die. It doesn't matter which, it's just a couple of breathtaking sights that are usually only seen by those who can attend airshows.

Turn your sound up!

DC-10.

DC-3.

Merlins!

Hurricane.

P-40Es (Allison V-12)

FW-190

Me-262

This thread is awesome.

Say what you like about the french but their pilots, when let off the leash in Chad, are fantastic.

Great thread, Steve.

Let's slow things down with some french helo action!

Highlight to note - the guy at 1.16

I can only second this.

One of my favourite videos:

Some fantastic flying there.

Love that DC-3 engine sound, Steve, always gives me the chills.

Loving the 'Merlins' too, I presume the footage is computer? Either way, it's still lovely.

Can't go having the Butcher Bird without her little sister:

DB-605 music:

You can't beat a good Merlin, but I've grown, through years of playing IL2 with the Lolwaffles, to really love the DB-601 and 605 engine noise, that whistle! It's got a charm all of its own.

And, something that would bring joy to many a wounded GIs ears:

Huey:

Although I do love the deep thud of the Chinook:

Good stuff.

And lastly, one for Jim and Herr B:

Not a chance of hell of a Vulcan sneaking up on anyone, that's for sure.

Chinook gets owned by the Russians - literally!

And lastly, one for Jim and Herr B:

We can argue about which was the best of the first-generation heavy jet bombers, but there is no doubt about which one was the prettiest.

On the way back from the supermarket I got overflown by a real old beauty, a Junkers 52!

Only managed to grab a few cellphone shots, wish I had my SLR!
