Latest         JetLev-Flyer Water Jet Pack Facts Fly on water thrust. This new jet pack idea may not be the best way to get to work, but it sure does look like a good time. The German company MS Watersports GmbH is marketing the water-pressure-powered JetLev-flyer "jet pack" and selling it (lessons included) for about $128,000 ... or just about what a brand new two-seat 120 mph light sport aircraft would cost you. But you can't use one of those underwater. For what it's worth, we'll bet this thing makes significantly more noise, too.Video narrated/edited by Glenn Pew for AVweb.comhttp://www.glennpew.com [More] [Less] mark Date: 02 April 2009 Category:               Crazy Red Bull Pilot Taking on the tower... mark Date: 02 April 2009 Category:               Take Off From USS Midway - Red Bull Air Race Pilot Kirby Chambliss The USS Midway CVB-41 has dropped its anchor permanently in front of the San Diego skyline. The decommissioned aircraft carrier has been turned into an impressive museum that draws huge crowds in San Diego Bay but as part of the activities leading up to the Red Bull Air Race in San Diego 2007 the Midway was briefly put back into service of sorts -- used as a temporary runway.Red Bull Air Race pilot Kirby Chambliss (USA) took advantage of the opportunity to take off from the aircraft carrier's flight deck in his Edge 540 out of the bay towards the race track. While the USS Midway had a top speed of 33 knots, the Red Bull Air Race planes used by Chambliss and his rivals can hit up to speeds of 400 km/h (250 mph)."It was an interesting experience," said Chambliss, adding he did not have nor need the slingshot that fighter planes use to get aloft. "There was plenty of room. The flight deck was about 780 feet long and I got right up with about 150 feet to spare."http://redbullairrace.com [More] [Less] mark Date: 02 April 2009 Category:               Piper L-4 side slip, landing and high tail taxi Mikael Carlson shows how to land a Cub after another one of his amazing L-4 displays.More Mikael Carlson athttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06NIHLQx08w mark Date: 02 April 2009 Category:               Crazy Flying Crazy pilot at Oshkosh 2007 airshow mark Date: 02 April 2009 Category:               SUPER Sport Cub - Overview 3.31.2009 - Introduction to the all new, light sport certified SUPER Sport Cub by CubCrafters.Featuring the light sport categories' BIGGEST ENGINE, BEST RATE OF CLIMB, SHORTEST TAKEOFF, SHORTEST LANDING, & FASTEST TOP SPEED. www.cubcrafters.com mark Date: 02 April 2009 Category:               RV7 smoke film HUM's New Smoke System from Santa for Xmas. mark Date: 02 April 2009 Category:               RV Air Racing UK The Royal Aero Club Records Racing and Rally Association Handicapped Air Racing mark Date: 02 April 2009 Category:       [ 1 ] - [ 2 ] - [ 3 ] Most Viewed         Light Aircraft Lands on Car Awesome Video, ruined by the most annoying commentary you are ever likely to hear. turn down your speakers.

I eventualy mananged to get the aircraft into a normal erect spin from which I was able to recover. This aircraft is not fitted with an electric starter motor, so I was unable to restart the engine. During the "flare" to land the main undercarriage caught the top wires of a barbed wire fence that was invisible to me. After coming to rest inverted I waited 20mins for the rescue services to come and right the aircraft so I was able to exit via the outward opening canopy. The aircraft rotated 26 times total, I was extremely dissorientated after the recovery to straight and level flight, and was unable to read the instruments. From the video I estimate I recovered at about 700ft from an entry altitude of 3500ft. If you listen carefully you will hear me say:"I think this is it". At that stage I did not think I would be able to recover. However I continued to try various control inputs based on the aircraft attitude and rotational rate, which eventually effected a recovery.My thanks go to the emergency services that found me and allowed my escape.
