The only motivational advice anyone has ever needed: You don’t have to feel like getting something done in order to actually get it done.“
F-15 Afterburners in the evening light
F-15s Pound Physics Into Submission
The F-15 Eagle entered service in 1976 and has served for 40 years as of 2016. It is still is an amazingly powerful tactical fighter that is expected to be in service past 2025.
This video shows how powerful and maneuverable these aircraft are.
This video was shot by Elwyn R. from Wales and in my opinion, was his luckiest day on the hill.
Last flight of the Concorde
The last flight of the Concorde was October 24, 2003. Believe it or not, there is a generation out there that doesn’t even know what Concorde was about. I was born in a time that promised the future of flight and we had it at Mach 2.04 – New York to London in 3.5 hours. Coming back home on the London to New York route you could arrive in the Big Apple two hours before you left London…think about that.
Today that flight takes 6.5+ hours. The future was more than 12 years ago.
The Concorde was an engineering marvel but wasn’t without problems. It flew so high (60,000 feet) there were concerns about radiation exposure, it flew so fast it had heating concerns, it devoured fuel, and the terrible crash in July 2000 at Gonesse, France eventually took it out of service.
I saw a Concorde take off from Heathrow and it sounded like two F-15s at afterburner at the same time.
I’ve linked some videos to show how awesome the Concorde was.
Oahu Pipeline
If this video doesn’t make you want to get out to Oahu – nothing will. It’s a couple of years old but is still fantastic. What great use of a drone.
F-15s in the Mach Loop
More great video from Elwyn in Wales. F-15s, Tornados, Hawks, and an Osprey. Not a bad day in the Loop.
Crank it up.
Cheers to you Elwyn
