That was a wild video just for the camera angles, not to mention the flying. Crazy shot at 3:15 when the guy goes inverted over a mountain and drops the nose. :eek:

Great video. I got to meet a few of those pilots a couple years ago. Sometimes, due to various budget and aircraft availibility issues, the SAF sends some of thier prospective FA-18 pilots to the US for training. In this case they were training with VFA-125, the Hornet (C/D) training squadron at Lemoore, CA. It makes watching such a video a tiny bit more special.
Love Evanescence! That entire CD is pretty good stuff.

Thanks for the link...that is a great video. The camera angles were amazing....and to get to see the F-5 in flight....took my breath away. The F-5 is such a striking aircraft, and one of my favorite jets.
Well, I think I have been inspired to fire up the old Alpha Sim F-5s and cut some canyons in CFS2.

Wow! Hawker Hunter in flight. Such a beautiful jet! The Brits had some very very sharp designs in the 50s and 60s. Hunter, Swift, Sea Hawk....
Well, got to through a load of laundry in then fire up CFS2 and take to the skies in my Hunter.

After watching all the vids, all I can think of is that I hope the residents of Sion have acrylic panes in their window!:isadizzy:
