Re: Air-vids
I know there is policies & treaties governing all of this but it is still very sad to see them end like this.

A shame more of them couldn't go up as gate guards or memorials around the country.
I wonder how many of the American airframes are still sitting at Davis Monthan AFB? Just looked at google earth and not many on its most recent shot. A bunch of B-57s though - maybe they make good drones?

I loved that jet... thought it looked mad, sounded mad and had sweet tricks. Thought it got the job done too.
Oh well I'll remember it with the model I got.

Video set to not embed.
Good it is getting done and all, but if it meant to be hush hush why post a video.

There was another guy there called Bruno Sanna.
I've met Frank Chapman - in the cockpit of the prototype A380. I used to have his business card. Great bloke, gave me plenty of time.
That was bloody nicely done too. Those things have been known to go horribly wrong.

Re: Air-vids
My pleasure Hutchy. Glad you enjoyed it.
Don't know if this belongs here or in the space thread. This is an amateur-built rocket which went to 121,000 ft! It also exceeded Mach 3 on the way, achieving that in nine seconds. It had a peak speed of around 3200 ft/sec (975 m/s). Max acceleration was in excess of 15G. Max dynamic pressure was 18000 (not sure what but I think it's lbs/sq ft).
I don't know how many GoPros were wrecked in the process but I do know the side-looking one was completely destroyed, even though they were able to rescue the card. The whole thing just melted. The downward-looking one was protected by an epoxy fairing which melted due to kinetic heating and left that black smear over the lens.

I don't know what the propellant was but most amateur rocket engines seem to be made of a mix of potassium nitrate and sugar (KNO3).
One of these days I'm going to join the Tripoli Rocketry Association. Been wanting to do it for years. I can't imagine what it must be like to build something in your garage which can go supersonic (or blow up). Go hard or go home!
