Probably the best XH558 video I have seen.

[Dan4th]

I agree!

Have to admit that "FAREWELL" always gets me.......

Oh, and what's that band music playing as she
touches down?

God knows I've Heard it enough times.......

Eye-Bee::::::::::

So THAT'S it! Sort of the equivalent of "Taps",
then.

US Military has a very similar bugle call (can't
remember the name) which is blown about one
hour before "Taps" and also for some flag
lowering ceremonies.....

Thank You!

Starfighter J79 engine being run up

[Xplumberlives]

I hope the guy who filmed that is better at engine bashing than he is as a cameraman!

[Olicat]

Well he was being hit by engine exhaust

[Xplumberlives]

Well he was being hit by engine exhaust

No he wasn't, he was standing to the left of the efflux!

Starfighter J79 engine being run up

Not the best camera work I have ever seen. Nice sound though.

[Olicat]

Yeah i know.
Olympus engine, same guy...

[MOD]

This is quite cool..

Respect to the narrator for not blacking out, but the Top Gear team would have done it slightly different.

Those Blue Angels though

Now if Mr Mayfly could get them to Waddo

[Xplumberlives]

Good god what an awfully long winded video!

[Mayfly]

I asked Mr MF but they are not down for Europe at all this year... tho' they are free Waddington w/e

Well you didn't watch it - it's 19 mins long and you posted only 9 minutes after Mod posted it!!

[Xplumberlives]

I fell asleep after 4 minutes!

[MOD]

Then you missed the Blue Angels then????

[Xplumberlives]

Then you missed the Blue Angels then????

The presenter was AWFUL! He stinks!

[MOD]

He was quite good when his face turned purple at 7G.. and he did keep his lunch!!

JClarkson or JMay would have been better imho but the Angels footage was superb. However I really think that their pilots look complete d++ks in their little Thunderbird's puppet hats.

[Mayfly]

He didn't look very happy at 14 minutes - but then again neither would I!!

Their not helped by their super-tight tailored flying suits with creases down the arms either.

[Dan4th]

I agree concerning the presenter, and it would be
nice to see something about the Blue Angels which
is more than just a fluff piece........

Better than Nuttin', though.....

I WOULD like to get to see XP in the back seat at 7+ Gs!
