It is always cool to try to impress your friends with some crazy low level stunts. They remain amazed at your courage and you will feel king of the skies. Of course you need to have the skills for such a demanding task, otherwise they’ll get the scare of a lifetime and you’ll finish the day on a hospital bed thinking what the hell possessed you to do such a crazy thing. So remember, doing crazy death spirals is cool only if you succeed in landing on your feet afterwards.
The Blue Eagles is a British professional helicopter aerobatic team. Formed nearly 40 years ago, the Blue Eagles team is also famous for including the first British female military air display pilot: Sgt Julie Wiles. They fly four Gazelle light helicopters and one Westland Lynx. The Blue Eagles team is composed entirely of volunteers. The team continues to fly out of Middle Wallop and its repertoire includes formation flying, loops, rolls, breaks, and many other standard aerobatic maneuvers.

It always amazes me to see what this pilots can do with their small radio controlled planes. This is just another example of having a great time with a scale model. Guess you really need some skills to perform this type of aerobatics.
Check out this amazing little RC aircraft and the crazy things it can do. It looks as if the controller uses his airplane to challenge the laws of physics. Anyway great performance and great skills. This has to be one of the best RC videos out there.

The Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI) started a project a few years ago. The FAI World Grand Prix Project aims at :
* developing and popularising Air Sports as an image of precision and accuracy, technical performance, individual achievement and team spirit.
* offering a testing bench and a practice field for advanced technologies.
* arousing vocations for aeronautical careers by attracting young people to dynamic and spectacular events.
Great portraits of Svetlana Kapanina, Peter Besenyei and The Matadors at the FAI World Grand Prix held in 2002 in Japan.

This technology demonstrator features new fly-by-wire but the most impressive part is the RD-133 engine that features a unique designed round turning nozzles which can provide thrust vector deflection in all direction. The aircraft can perform crazy aerobatic maneuvers and is one of the most maneuverable aircraft in the world today.
Hungarian pilot Zoltan ” Zoli” Veres is a one hell of a pilot. With more than 10,000 hours of flying in his logbook, this guy has flown more than 80 types of aircraft in his life, and still counting. From small aerobatic aircraft like the the Zlin-50 or Extra 300 to large Boeing airliners, this guy tried ‘em all. Named “One of the worlds best 12 pilots” in 1995, Zoli won quite a lot of medals at all kinds of aerobatic competitions and air shows. Here is a clip of him doing what he loves… throwing his aircraft all over the sky.
