i get your point Crouwel. didn't post it for the awesomenessnessness of it ffs.
just the curiosity of it. if it looks like country-bragging then i'm out.
also i posted because i'm alone in front of a computer instead of living a normal life. thanks!

Vids like that are only really appreciable if you've spent loads of time around planes or at airshows - by the looks of it, the thing's barely keeping itself in the air for the second half of that bank.
Must've been quite dramatic if you were actually there and subject to the deep bass rumbling coming off the engines.
LiveLeak's got some great low pass footage of different planes.

i think the curiosity of it is how this pilots cope with the massive weight difference in the stunts inside the airplane.
like that barrel roll video v6 posted.
a stunt in a 150-ton airplane is not exactly like gymnastics at school.
that's why i think it's interesting. nothing more.

I'm having trouble finding them, but there're great videos out there of a sadistcally insane B-52 captain doing low passes over mountains and rolls'n'shit.
He eventually killed himself and his crew whilst dicking about.
Let that be a lesson to you - don't dick around in a B-52.

you didn't hurt my feelings, my friend.
I have none of that gay aerosol spray!
I'm a brute and I looking forward to grow hair on my chest!
now where is Jaline!?

i never realized it could be that bad. i am - shame on me - addicted to dicking around in B-52's on saturdaynights when I am pissed.. :(
I need rehab.
- ********0
don't worry - I only had 1 b-52 in my life.
Never understood why the dood decided to burn my drink. I just leaped into the counter, slashed the barman's throat and spread its remains all over Lisbon.
That's why I had to leave, btw.

it's a good hobby.

No one pisses on my glasses.
btw. Crouwel has glasses now.
