Kudos to the crew members of the “Enola Gay” & “Bocks Car” and all the B-29’s of the 509th composite group 👍🏻

Engineering, at its experimental fase! This is aviation history at its best.

I'm pretty sure the model 48 was built or at least designed before the OV-10. I'm sure it was one of those political things where the best design doesn't necessarily win the bid. In this case it looks like the best design won, but the company that did the designing and research didn't. This is nothing new, it has happened time and again. In cases where contracts are awarded by the government we need a different process that gets rid of the ability to buy a contract, and sometimes the design too !

By the time the project was cancelled they had virtually perfected the design. With no traditional tail rotor instead using a ducted fan similar to a NOTAR system they probably could have attained 300mph. Admittedly the very early prototypes did have some issues but they had virtually all been resolved by the end of the program. 😎🇦🇺👍

It was a Swell Time.

No "DEI" grads here...

That was a good presentation. Wish he had went on way longer and deeper.

Being a large structure and painted in white, it surely shines early in the morning blues...

That's the launch of Atlas Centaur AC-2... It did well. And did so well it still passes over our heads as of June 2024, 61 years after...🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

I never heard that a version of the Atlas used gasoline as fuel.

Nice footage ,the luftwaffe focke wulf 200 is the most beautiful luftwaffe aircraft off all time ❤

wonderful

Not just made of titanium, but RUSSIAN titanium. The CIA made a secret deal to purchase bulk titanium from a third party country who bought it from Russia.

Thank you for the overview!

RA-5 Vigilante was huge and deck crews hated becouse ot was so big and heavy to spot on deck. F-111B, asks to hold its navay grog.

Hi team! Great video but one quick correction: it’s “Horten” 👍

After Bob flew this plane, no other man could fly her, because no other man could satisfy her like Bob could.

EF-4D AWW Prototype 😍 Tho It Never Became Operational and It Was Decided To Base The “AWW” Project on Much Newer ( at the time ) F-4E Rather Than Older F-4Ds and Result of That Would Be The F-4G Wild Weasel V We All Know ( Early F-4G and EF-4D In This Post Use Same The Equipment , Mainly The AN/APR-38 , However Its Transition From F-4D To F-4E Wasn’t Hassel Free and Major Problems and Obstacles Popped Out Of the Blue Immediately and delayed the project by 8 years iirc )

We used to show this movie when I was an instructor at Chanute Fire School in the mid 70s. I could probably recite the entire movie if I had to.🤣🤣

bobriedel, what your fathers name probably same as yours. I’ll look in my cruise book

Stjohn , I forgot others died , i thought only the pilot .

I was on the Hancock from mid 1953 until Nov 56 . I was DK Disbursing Clerk E5 when I discharged at Hunters Point in Nov 56. Good memories , except for these horrible accidents. We lost a total 5 pilots while was on board according to my 55-56 Cruise Book . We were gone six months with stops in Hawaii , Manila and Yokosuka . Jay ( my age now is 91, I was 23 in 1955. Can do

I was below decks at my work space when this plane crashed. You may want to fast forward to it . I had the volume on , but making a lot of noise

I participated in XV-5A Vertifan program. MY participation was instrumental to the program. I was litterally instrumented. I was the pickup dummy. You are welcome for my suffering and sacrifice.

So misreading TF B-Scope, as to terrain height ahead, leads to ........... What? Flowers and condelensces?

Yaw trim indicator is a string. Lemme guess , the string is made of spaceage polymer and has high cost .

Watch the 1957 film The spirit of st. LOUIS

And what about those pilots?

THANKS AND WE OWE A LOT TO THESE MEN . ‼️🇺🇲

Wauw, the sound of an F-16 taxiing never gets old..

8:48

“Spaceship” spaceship to hitting a car on the runway into an other airliner building.

Top Crash!

My dad and grandpa directly contributed to the development of this system at CONVAIR. They were brave heroes eho scarificed their health for the benefot of the program. They were instrumental to the program, one might say. They were the ejection dummies.

where are you cyan?

Back when interviewers asked intelligent questions.

in the end the cat. 1 launcher holder were chosen.

Another Aircraft not built and a lost the aviation kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p5yDq9x61LnafYE.html

I saw this plane in 1972 at Lambert Field. I was getting my Boy Scouts Aviation merit badge and was going to go up in a Beech V tailed Bonanza. If that wasn't cool enough, here come the Eagle in that hi Viz paint scheme out from the McDonell Douglas hangar. I watched transfixed as it taxied by, with two Missouri Air Guard F4 Phantoms trailing it to fly chase. He took off, snapped the gear up and went straight up. The poor F4s had to spiral up after it, leaving black exhaust for miles. He started pulling a contrail, rolled it over and headed for Illinois. I stood there slack jawed, almost forgetting I was going up myself. I will never forget that.

This is the risks of being a flight deck photographer. Been there, done that, survived…

Hello. Good stuff.

Saw Mr. Hoover fly the yellow P-51, "Rockwell International" at Oshkosh in 1983...what a treat!

Hi! Is it an originial color movie? I'm surprised at the red serial number...

Nice gross cough when he's talking you rude creep

Can you shut up and let him talk you wimp

This ship along with CV-6 USS Enterprise SHOULD have been saved as museum ships because of what they did in WWll

gaijin when

Rumor has it that to this day, the sound is still classified.

This guy is not Astronaut James Irwin. Not about Apollo 15 or the Lunar Rover. WTF !

We took a hop from NAS North Island tlo. Corpus Christi when I was ststioned with VP-31...I had a great time
