[Notes:Dateline: Huntsville, Ala.]A
5-year-old is reported dead after strong
winds hit an air show in Huntsville, Alabama.
Witnesses told a local newspaper that a
generator fell on the child. Twelve other
people were reported hurt ... With one in
serious condition.[Notes:SOT- Kenny Cannoen
"When the wind hit it just lifted the whole
tent up. The whole unit went over, (unit of
tents). Blew over the AC units and it was
just chaotic."][Notes:SOT-Kevin Murphy- "The
wind picked up and it was just a microburst
and it picked everything up and just slammed
it right over everybody's head. One little
boy got a rope wrapped around him and it
swung him up over the building."]The National
Weather Service says winds reached 48
miles-per-hour during the storm.[Notes:SOT-
Kenny Cannoen "They called a momentary shut
down of the sir show because they just
thought it was going to rain, the that
section of wind came through there so quick,
so fast that nobody had any time to respond
at all."]The county coroner says the winds
knocked down a row of tents. [Notes:Edit SOT-
Kenny Cannoen "They (emergency workers)
basically run everybody out of the area. They
had to get he power generation system shut
down so there wouldn't be any chance of
electrocutions and those kinds of things.
They did that very quickly." like that]A
hospital spokeswoman says of the 12 treated
for injuries ... only one was admitted to the
hospital. ___ ___, The Associated

PILOTS, DON'T TRY THIS BY YOURSELVES!
MANEUVERS SHOWN HERE WERE INTENSIVELY TRAINED
BEFORE THIS AIRSHOW, INCLUDING POSSIBLE
EVENTUALITIES LIKE CROSSWIND, WINDSHEAR, AND
VARIOUS FAILURES THAT CAN OCCUR.
SAFETY IS ALWAYS THE FIRST TO OBSERVE IN A
FLIGHT, SPECIALLY IN AIRSHOWS!
--------------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFO:
On this post, CV990 reveals all passes you
see in this video were SERIOUSLY PLANNED AND
TRAINED:
http://www.airliners.net/discussions/general_
aviation/read.main/3612868/1/#1
The pilot on this great performance flight
was Cap. César Brito no less than the TAP
Airbus A310 fleet last Chief Pilot...this
awesome pilot have 4.000 hours on the A310
and TAP wanted to pay the best tribute for
almost 20 years of service in TAP without an
accident. The airplane involved was CS-TEI
and the co-pilot of that flight was Vitor
Pereira. Has you know, from November on TAP
will start to receive 5 brand new A330-200
fresh from the factory.
This incredible performance shows the great
pilots TAP have during all these years, just
to remind you in early 60's the famous Capt.
Marcelino passed UNDER Tagus bridge with a
Boeing 707!!!
--------------------------------------
UPDATED INFO: I spoke with an A310 TAP pilot.
Following are FACTS, NOT RUMORS:
1. Capt. César Brito is still flying,
because he did in the airshow EXACTLY what
was planned and trained to do. That was not a
stupid idea executed in a moment, it took
weeks of preparation.
2. Brito knew perfectly how Evora airfield
is. He's playing with an optical effect; the
other side's ground has a slightly downward
form.
3. Co-pilot was another A310 commander, and
during the show he was focused in altitude to
continuously report to César.
4. Plane passed a complete overhaul just
before this airshow, so the risk of failures
was minimum.
5. Plane continued flying with passengers
until retired soon, but after a reccommended
inspection by Airbus officials.
--------------------------------------
To say a bit about how I recorded this video,
I was in the organisation team in the Copa
Triangular de Vuelo Acrobático at Portugal
Airshow, so I was able to record this really
close to it.
First passes are recorded very close to the
runway; the jet blast hit me plenty!
The last one is recorded from CTVA temporary
control tower in Evora. That A310 was really
great!!!

videos to you... :)

| Ukraine Air Show Disaster - Sukhoi SU-27 Crash |
 |
The Ukraine Air Show crash of a Russian SU-27
jet is considered the worst air show disaster
in history.
The Ukraine air show disaster happened on
August 7, 2002 in Lviv, Ukraine. A Russian
made Sukhoi SU-27 fighter jet was performing
a maneuver at low altitude when it clipped
the ground and became a somersaulting
fireball into spectators. Eighty five people
were killed and over hundred spectators were
injured during the crash. The pilots, who
ejected to safety, were ruled at fault for
the crash.

"THE PLAYERS ARE AGGRAVATED. WE'VE HAD ENOUGH
PRACTICE- BRING US ONLINE!"
(That would be the full name of the video :P
)
Piloted mostly by myself (using both
controls)- so manuevers were quite limited to
what I've had time so far to practice with.
(About an hour last night, spend all day
today cutting and splicing scenes together)
Eventually going to try to do more complex
manuevers like cobras, immelmans, etc.
As in the end credits, the film is dedicated
to Namco, Ace Combat fans, Neoseeker's Ace
Combat forum fanatics, and Beterhans who made
a pretty badass airshow film that inspired me
to take a crack at it. Thanks folks!
So yeah.. Online. REQUIRED FOR ACE06!
Ace Combat X for the psp may be the first Ace
game with some sort of online/link
connectivity, and hopefully that should be
enough to inspire Namco to broaden the range
of playability a bit.
More vids to come in the future!

Quebec City, Quebec, Canada
Friday June 13, 2008
IN THIS VIDEO, watch as the Red Arrows
perform a twilight show performance over the
skies of Jean Lesage International Airport.
Keep in mind that this is my first time
seeing the Reds fly and I was absolutely
amazed and had practically no idea what to
expect as far as maneuvers and such from the
team. Performance narrated in French.
Like what you've seen? Well, if you are
interested in purchasing DVDs of specific
aircraft and/or of airshows, interested in
anything and everything related to airshows
(where the jet teams will show up, all
airshow performers, airshow reports from
airshows I have attended, previews of
airshows I will be attending, etc.), a much
more easier to navigate "version" of all of
my videos, and/or everything there is related
to aviation - including spotting guides to my
favorite airports and military bases and
aircraft factfiles, please take time to check
