If you can get it. Same crew that was flying F8s with the Blue Angels a couple of years back. And I thought I had a good job. An interesting short (10 minute) video shot largely using CGI and funded to the tune of €70K by the Irish Film Board.

One of those cases when it really is better to receive, than it is to give. Trust me, it looks a whole lot more controlled from the other end. Of course, most of the airplane is behind you, so you don’t really pay much attention to it… There was a crescent moon tonight over NAS Fallon. Not as who should say a “commander’s moon,” far less one issued to a retired captain. But a moon nonetheless. Which, when coupled with a sky completely innocent of cloud cover and with visibilities unlimited, made for an entirely different experience during the evening go. [...] So, your host flew a night hop last night and a day sortie today. The difference between the two was, well: Look at the title. We’d missed some sorties for weather. Gotten kicked out of the brawl when the training rules limited the number of fighters and bandits that could contest the same airspace. [...] You’re not in Sandy Eggo any more, precious. Update: Well, that was something of a bust. Got to the field with large wet snow flurries everywhere. Entered the ready room to hear from an F-5 pilot that all of the F-5s, F-16s and, yes – Kfirs – were cancelled from the first launch. [...] For those still remotely interested, the full “Varga/Kfir” movie is up. All the way to the end, like. The last two minutes, and so on.
Untitled from Nep Lex on Vimeo. Which I had to get home to fix it, didn’t I? Sometimes you really have to look to be sure you’re pressing the right button: Passengers flying over the Atlantic reacted in horror when a recorded message told them on two occasions that their plane could be about to crash.

Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." -- John Paul Jones "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Caesar and Cleopatra" "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friedrich Nietzsche "A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate."--Edmund Burke “You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”--General Sir Charles Napier "Μολὼν λαβέ" -- Leonidas "Blogito Ergo Sum" -- Neptunus Lex Amazon AssociateFor the Effort!Winnar!![]() Subscribe![]() CategoriesPagesTagsacademy
