Flight Details _______________ Pilot in Command: Me (Flying - LH Seat) Passangers: My Dad (Filming - RH Seat) Plane: Cessna 172SP - Garmin G1000 Equipped Callsign: VH-KHE Date: October 7th 2007 Time: Around 11:00am Airport: Moorabbin (YMMB) Wind: All over the fucking place Duty Rwy: 35 Destination: Western Port Bay Altitude: 2500' Airspeed: +/- 110kts Flight Time: 1.2 Hours Number of Circuits: 3 Final Landing: Definitly not my best crosswind landing. (Overcorrected) The aircraft I fly is the Cessna 172S NAV III Engine: Lycoming IO360 180BHP (2700RPM) Avionics: Garmin G1000 Cruise: 120 Kts (216kph) MTOW: 2550lbs (1159kg) Fuel: 201 Lt Usable Burn: 36 Lt/hr (Mixture Leaned) Range: 5h35m / 670Nm / 1240km / 770 miles Service Celing: 14,000 Ft Fixed Pitch propellor (Diameter: 76in, 190cm) Cost (Standard G1000 Equipped): US$254,500 (Approx: AU$305,000) Cost with everything: US$311,025 (Approx: AU$375,000) This day I flew KHE for a short flight to get my recency back (3 takeoffs and landings every 90 days {3 months}) before the VCE exams - It was a nice day, CAVOK, however the wind was all over the place, with a croswind of gusts to about 5-10 kts (9 - 18 km/h) You can see the drift I had to apply on takeoff, to the left, and on the landings. The final landing I overcorrected a gust, went off the centerline a bit and the wheel started doing that shopping trolley thing (thats the annoying noise). However all in all, it was a pleasant flight. I'm planning a big one in the next few weeks, down to Wangaratta Aerodrome (YWGT), to get out of Melbourne and on a NAV. Can't wait! [Mas+detalle]

This footage was taken by me, on Saturday March 24th. I know that was ages ago, but the footage that I uploaded onto the computer took up a lot of space, and needed to be compressed before being uploaded. (Max YouTube upload file size: 100MB) I have another about 1.5 hours of footage, however it comes up to nearly 20GB, so I need to compress it, and I didn't have the time to do that, I'm doing Yr12. The quality of this video is somewhat strained, I had to compress it once, from 490Mb to 45Mb Jim LeRoy, the Bulldog Pitts Please comment and rate the videos, and choose the next video you want to see: The Air Bandits (Aerobatics) B52 Bomber Caribou Connie and the DC3's The Cessna Dragonfly F-15 Eagle F-16 Falcon The Helicopter Display (Military) F-18 Hornet F-18 Hornets (Formation) Southern Nights (Warbirds) P3C Orion The RAAF warbirds C37J Spartan (Twin Turboprop) F/A-18 Superhornet 'Tin Sticks of Dynamite' (Wall of Fire) [Mas+detalle]

This Accident occured on the 24th August 2007 "A horrific evening for people vacationing at the Hazelmere RV Park close to the US border. People on the scene say they saw the balloon burst into flames shortly after take off and land in the park igniting trailers. Surrey Mounties say there were 13 people on board at the time of the accident, of those two have not been accounted for. It believed that some of the passengers may have been from the same family. They have been transported to various hospitals around the Lower Mainland to be treated for 2nd degree burns and fractures. Three mobile homes have been damaged by the fire but no one was inside them at the time. The balloon is owned by a Langley Company." There were two bodies, a mother and daughter recovered soon afterward [Mas+detalle]

This is a short excerpt from the film "Resident Evil: Apocalypse" directed by Alex Witt. Alice, Jill, Carlos and Angie are leaving Raccoon city, trying to outrun the Umbrella Coperation Neutron Bomb... Note: In the script, the yield of the bomb is said to be a 5 kiloton tactical prescision nuclear device, which is around 200 times smaller than a normal thermonuclear (Megaton) bomb. So, it was probably just a fission neutron device, not a TN bomb. [Mas+detalle]

This was me flying VH-MSN solo from Moorabbin Airport to the Mornington Peninsula (and back) on the 18th August 2007 at 1:00pm (EST). That's me in the left hand seat, my dad is doing the filming from the right. There is no takeoff, because dad didn't know how to use the camera properly, and he stopped the camera part way through the landing, that's why there is no footage of that. Aside from that, it was a very nice flight. The G1000 is fantastic. The only problem I had was on the ground trying to get clearance for takeoff. I taxied to 35R, with about 4 planes in front of me and 3 behind. I had to wait for all the traffic to clear, until I was at the holding point, and I gave my ready call. But it was then that the tower decided to change the duty runway to 17 L and R, so I had to do a U turn at the holding point, taxi to the other side of the airfield and wait another 5 min for all the planes in front of me to takeoff. In the end I worked out that I wasted $60 waiting to takeoff. Not happy Jan!!

I haven't made a 'music video' for a while, and I have lots of plane shorts so I knocked this up from most of the footage and put on Guns n' Roses 'November Rain' as the soundtrack. I have also written up an extensive video info section, so read it before you make any 'when did this happen' type comments. AIRCRAFT IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE ________________________________ Boeing 747 - This Video is very widely distributed, a 747 taking off just before the end of the runway, and passing less than 100 feet over plane spotters. Another B747 - Performing a crosswind landing Another B747 - Landing at St Maarteen Airport. The Airport has one 2345 meter long runway, 09/27, and the 747 is landing on runway 09, in which the threshold is only 80 meters away from a beach, the end of the runway only 2 meters away. If you want to see more amazing videos of this, look up the airport on YouTube. Messerschmitt Me 262 "Schwalbe" - the world's first turbojet fighter aircraft, which first flew in 1941 with piston engines, and 5 years later with jet engines. The only two countries that used this plane were Germany and Czechoslovakia respectively, the Czechs retired these planes in 1957. Boeing 777 - Performing a Crosswind Landing Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning - Joint Strike Fighter, VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) Australia wishes to purchase around 100 JSF's to replace the aging F18 Hornets and F111's. Extra 300 - flown by Peter Besenyei, a world renown Hungarian Aerobatics Pilot, in Japan 2006. He also participates frequently in the Red Bull Air Race. Sukhoi Su-31 - The Pilot is Svetlana Kapanina, a world champion aerobatics pilot. F/A 18 Hornet - Carrier launch, catapault. RA-5C A5 Vigilante - A High Performance, Supersonic Jet Bomber made for the US Navy. Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress - Takeoff from Seat overlooking engines 1 and 2, on the port wing. Filmed during Takeoff on a shitty day. Unsure of the next aircraft, but apparently the pilot is Peter Besenyei. Beyond stupidity, but Bloody Amazing! Aero Commander Shrike - In the cockpit with Bob Hoover at the controls. In a barrel roll, there are no forces acting on the plane (If performed correctly), of both acceleration or gravitational load forces. That is why the iced tea was able to be poured, even though the plane was upside down. An Amazing pilot and video! F-14 Tomcat - Performing a high speed, low altitude pass of a carrier. The speed was probably around 550 - 600 knots, or 990 to 1080 km/h, subsonic (that was not a sonic boom) but still producing a very loud (120dB+) sound. Look at the water! Grumman S-2 Tracker - it barely has enough speed to rotate, let alone cope with all the drag obtained from flying into the wave, but it still manages to climb out. F-14 Tomcat - Another Tomcat performing a high speed, low altitude pass of a carrier. The speed was probably closer to 650 knots, or 1170 km/h, barely subsonic (that was not a sonic boom), probably even transonic, if you notice the large cloud forming, called the Prandtl-Glauert singularity. Boeing 707 - Filmed during its flight tests. The pilot, Tex Johnson, performed during this flight a barrel roll, much to the dismay of his employers. However, the military were viewing the flight, and they were so impressed at the manoeuvring capabilities of the passenger jet, and signed a contract with Boeing to produce military aircraft. Tex was not fired for his stunt, just asked not to do it again. McDonnell Douglas RAF GR7 Harrier - The Harrier in High speed flight, very widely distributed video of it passing just meters over the heads of the military personnel on the ground. C-130 Hercules - The famous 'Angel' Flares. F-22 Raptor - A tail view of the newest, most high tech plane in the world. The Raptor has performed brilliantly in its tests, apart from some minor flaws. Extra 300 - Not much I can say about this one. [Mas+detalle]

The footage you are watching is taken from the documentary "Trinity and Beyond", also known as "The Atomic Bomb Movie" directed by Peter Kuran, released in 1995, and I strongly recommend it to everyone reading this, it is a must watch! History of this excerpt: At the beginning of this excerpt, the explosion that you see is the 'Tsar Bomba' or 'Emperor Bomb' in English and it was detonated by the soviets on October 31st, 1961, on an island in the arctic sea to the north of Russia. The weapon packed a yield of 57 Megatons on detonation, meaning that it was equal to the explosive force of 57,000,000 Tons of TNT, or 3800 times larger than the Hiroshima explosion. This monster bomb is famous for being the largest nuclear detonation on the face of this planet. 112 days earler the project to build the weapon, codenamed Ivan, was initiated by the soviet premier of the time Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev. 3 years before the Tsar Bomba was detonated, Khrushchev was enstated as the Premier of the Soviet Union in March 1958, and shortly after his enstatment the Soviet Union issued a statement in which it planned to suspend nuclear weapons testing. Dwight D. Eisenhower was the United States President until at the time, and he issued this statement shortly after the Soviet Union's announcement: "The United States is prepared, unless testing is resumed by the Soviet Union, to withhold further testing on its part of atomic and hydrogen weapons for a period of one year from the beginning of the negotiations." There was a nuclear weapons moratorium in effect from late 1958, the last nuclear weapon detonated by the United States being 'Titania', a small sub-kiloton device detonated on October the 30th 1958 in Nevada, the last device detonated in the Hardtack II series of tests. Almost exactly 3 years later, the Soviet Union detonated the Tsar Bomba, effectively destroying the moratorium. The United States were furious. The Ambassador to the United Nations at the time was Adlai Stevenson, as pictured in the film giving this statement: "Mr. Khrushchev has exploded his 'Giant Bomb' in cynical disregard of the United Nations. By this act, the Soviet Union have added injury to insult: They broke the moratorium on nuclear weapons testing. They have raised atmospheric pollution to new heights. They have started a new race for more deadly weapons. They have spurned the humanitarian appeal of the United Nations, and of all peace loving peoples. They have advanced no solid justification for exploding this monstrous and unnecessary weapon. They have been wholly unmoved by the dangers of radioactive fallout to the human race. The United States delegation deeply deplores this contempt for world opinion and we think that in the light of this sombre development, other delegations may wish to express their views on this shocking and distressing news. For today, Mr. Chairman, the world has taken a great leap backwards, toward anarchy and disaster." The Narrator, William Shatner, then says: The Russians had Shattered the voluntary moratorium. The United States would follow suit with an extensive series of weapon tests, for massive retaliation. The United States testing that was to follow the ending of the moratorium was codenamed Operation Nougat, a series of 69 nuclear weapon tests which began a month before the Tsar Bomba explosion. This was at the height of the aptly named 'Cold War' and the Cuban Missile Crisis, and it stood not only as testing, but as a deterrent against Soviet aggression. Any nuclear attack by either country would have escalated and triggered a full-scale thermonuclear war in which many millions would have perished, and making much of the world inhospitable. These weapons designed and constructed by the United States and Russia were designed to protect the countries but instead, if the Cold War became a reality, they would have had the destructive power to destroy much of the human race.

I have been looking for this video for a week now. The accident occurred during November 2006, onboard the HMAS Kanimbla which was stationed off Fiji -- in the heat of the coup. The helicopter is a Black Hawk. The inquiry released the footage recently, and cited poor weather conditions and a difficult approach as the cause. There were 2 fatalities, the Captain and a Trooper. Captain Mark Bingley's helmet apparently snagged on an antenna while the Black Hawk was rapidly sinking, and he was not able to remove it until a depth of 30 meters. He could not be revived. SAS Trooper Joshua Porter suffered injuries during impact, and sank with the helicopter to a depth of about 2500 meters. The wether conditions were a 10-15 knot (18-27kph) tailwind. Ass seen, the impact with the deck caused the tail rotor to break off, which caused the resulting spin - called a 'vortex ring'. If there are any mistakes in that -- can you let me know?

The monument to Stonehenge!! This is Spinal Tap In ancient times, Hundreds of years before the dawn of history. There lived a strange race of people...the Druids. No one knows who they were, or...what they were doing... But their legacy remains... Hewn into the living rock of Stonehenge... Stonehenge! Where the demons dwell Where the banshees live and they do live well Stonehenge! Where a man is a man and the children dance To the pipes of Pan... Stonehenge! Tis' a magic place, Where the moon doth rise, with a dragon's face Stonehenge! Where the virgins lie And the prayer of devils fill the midnight sky... And you my love, won't you take my hand We'll go back in time, To that mystic land Where the dew drops cry, and the cats meow I will take you there I will show you how.... And Oh how they danced... The little children of Stonehenge Beneath the haunted moon... For fear that daybreak, might come too soon... And where are they now? The little people of Stonehenge... And what would they say to us, If we were here.........Tonight....... [Mas+detalle]

From the rockumentary 'This is Spinal Tap' Derek Smalls gets trapped in his cocoon during a peformance of "Rock and Roll Creation" with hilarious results! Derek Smalls is played by Harry Shearer - the other band members are Nigel Tufnel (Chris Guest)and David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean). Im sure the vast majority of you have seen the Simpsons, Derek (Harry Shearer), the guy who gets trapped, does a lot of the voices, including Mr. Burns. This is Spinal Tap!!! Rock and Roll Creation ------------------------------------- When there was darkness and the void was king and ruled the elements, When there was silence and the hush was almost deafening! Out of the emptiness Salvation!! Rhythm and light and sound, Twas' the rock and roll creation! Twas' a terrible big bang! Twas' the ultimate mutation! Ying was searching for his yang! And he looked and he saw that it was good! When I'm alone beneath the stars and feeling insignificant, I turn within to see the forces that created me... I look to the stars and the answers are clear I look in the mirror and see what I fear...... Tis' the rock and roll creation! Tis' an absolute rebirth! Tis' the rolling of the ocean and the rocking of the earth! And I looked and I saw that it was good! [Mas+detalle]

The Tsar Bomba _______________ October 30th 1961 - The Tsar Bomba, King of the Bombs, Царь-бомба or Big Ivan. This footage is courtesy of the documentary "Trinity and Beyond", directed by Peter Kuran, and other footage is courtesy of the Discovery channel. The original footage was from declassified Soviet Archives. The music used is from The Planets Suite composed by Gustav Holst. The movement is 'Mars: the Bringer of War' Before I get into the details of the test, I want to clear up something very important. The title of this video is "Tsar Bomba - King of the Bombs - 57,000,000 Tonnes of TNT". Understand now that this test wasn't the result of a detonation of 57,000,000 Tonnes of TNT, but rather the nuclear yield EQUIVALENT of a detonation of 57,000,000 Tonnes of Trinitrotoluene. The actual weight of the device was 27 tonnes. And coincidentally, one tonne is taken as a metric tonne, or 1000 kilograms - (2200lbs). All units used in physics are metric. The reason the yield equivalent system is used is because the energy released from the explosion of a set amount of TNT is a constant. Second to that: I KNOW THE SCREENSHOTS AT THE END ARE OF THE CLOUD OVER THE GROUND. The reason I made a mistake was because when I made this video I was using a 6 year old CRT monitor with numerous problems, some of which with the shading. I greatly regret it butI cant be bothered removing/re-uploading the video again so Ill just live with it. The bomb was designed as a 100 Megaton device, not a 50 Megaton device. This was due to its 3 stage design: fission-fusion-fission. There is fission initiator that when detonated, begins a fusion reaction. Then there is a further fission detonation of a Uranium tamper which boosts the yield by 50 Megatons. For the test, the Tsar had its Uranium tamper replaced with lead to reduce the maximum yield by half (To 50 Megatons). The blast yield was equal to that of a blast of 57,000,000 Tonnes of TNT....or to put that into context: The weight of 270 Empire State Buildings worth of TNT. This makes the Tsar the most powerful nuclear device ever detonated in history. Think of the destruction at Hiroshima. The Tsar was 3800 times more powerful than Hiroshima. The bomb's weight was 27 tonnes, and its dimensions were: 8 meters (26ft) in length, and 2 meters (6.5ft) in diameter. It was air-dropped, from a modified Tupolev Tu-95 Bear, and it used a nylon parachute to slow its decent to give the crew time to escape. The bomb was dropped from an altitude of 34,500 feet AGL (10,500 meters), and it detonated a little over three minutes later at an altitude of 13,100 feet AGL (4,000 meters). In this time: The Tu-95, travelling at a ground speed of 480kts (552mph, 864kph), travelled into the safe zone (about 45km from ground zero) and was therefore 79km away from the blast. When the bomb detonated, immediately the temperature directly below and surrounding the detonation would have risen to millions of degrees. The pressure below the blast was 300 pounds per square inch, over three times the pressure in a car tyre. The light energy released was so powerful that it was visible even at 1000km (621 miles), with cloudy skies. The shockwave was powerful enough to break windows at even up to 900 kilometres (560 miles) from the blast. The shockwave was recorded orbiting the earth 3 times. The mushroom cloud rose to an altitude of 64,000 meters (210,000 feet) before levelling out. The thermal energy from the blast was powerful that it could cause 3rd degree burns to a human standing 100 km (62 miles) away from the blast. The radius of the fireball was 2.3 kilometres (1.4 miles). The blast radius (area in which total destruction ensured) was 13km (8 miles). The most important thing to note is that this bomb was designed as a 100 Megaton device (Yield equivalent of 0.1 billion tonnes of TNT). If detonated, everything within a 48 kilometer (30 mile) diameter would be vaporised. Everything within a 195 kilometer (120 mile) diameter would be incinerated in a fireball. This would ensure total destruction of a large city like New York, Paris or London, as well as devastation on its outskirts. Look at my other video to get more information about the test history. http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=LOwEcLiK4cA [Mas+detalle]
