The 'Right Stuff' from the russian side in the race to the first man's walk in space. An amazing and really great movie !

Hi Folks, here is a story I read yesterday. In my opinion, it fits the thread's title and I thought I could share it here since it is geography (topography ?) dependent but not only. "In late October 2008 in northwestern Afghanistan, six members of a Marine Special Operations Team were minutes away from being overrun by Taliban fighters. Surrounded by a larger enemy force, the Marines had called for air support, but dense cloud cover over the valley the Marines were trapped in was making it impossible for Navy F/A-18s to reach them. For a minute, it looked like all would be lost, until two A-10s arrived, flown by pilots who risked their own lives to save the Marines’, just as night began to fall. The narrative below is based on official statements from Marines in addition to an extensive interview with one of the Hog pilots, all of whom might not have lived to tell the tale....

@ Pilotasso : I was just like you until I discovered this last friday night. I have never even thought that it was possible since I was naively thinking that aerobatics meant necessarily good visibility conditions. So I thought it would be good to share. Here is a link to the TV channel website, unfortunatly in french only, but still worths a look : http://www.aerostar.tv/replay/ Laurius

Dear All, Everybody likes Air shows, right ? But what about Night Air shows ?? Hoping you'll enjoy. ;)

This link pretty sums it all up : http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34814203 The number of at least 40 people dead seems apparently confirmed. But the situation is still evolving at the moment. :noexpression:

@ VBARhino : Those shots are indeed amazing ! One of them will be definitely my new wallpaper ! :thumbup:

Hi Ange, It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thanks for sharing. :thumbup:

It's indeed hard to tell but personally I would finally vote for the second one, the one in the link you gave. Framing is somewhat better, plane is bigger and the wing vortices on that clear blue sky are really gorgeous (the sky itself looks much nicer).
