Speed gliding is all about flying your hang glider as fast as possible through a series of gates. Ever heard the expression “treetop level” ? Well, guess you can call this one grasstop level. Sit back and enjoy this wild and crazy ride.

This Eurocopter Ec-135 seems to be in quite a difficult situation. Leave it to the pilot to get this helicopter out of the snow. Lovely job, I might add.
It is well known that the F-18 Hornet replaced the veteran F-14 Tomcat on the aircraft carriers of the US Navy. So Tomcat pilots didn’t really like Hornet pilots. Regardless, this has to be one of the coolest flybys in the history of flybys, and one of those old meets new formation flying.
A really fast bike, a really fast car and a not so really fast airplane battle it out in an old fashioned quarter mile drag race to find out who is fastest. Who do you think will be the winner?
You probably know this aircraft. It’s the Piper Cub that did an amazing short landing. The landing was short, but check out this crazy take off.
One of the most extreme, crazy, mad, insane … ( and the list can go like this for pages ) stunts I have ever seen. Surely, he knew what he was doing and was in control the whole time, but man, there is something about having a burning parachute over your head that gives me goose bumps. Ever heard the expression: “He’s on fire!”. Yeah, that sounds kinda right for this one.
This is really one intense video. Crazy near miss, or near hit. This guy passes inches away from an incoming airplane. After seeing this one I have to say i totally agree with him. Left me wondering though… what would have happened if he didn’t pop the chute?
Jean Loic Albert is one of the pioneers of slope flying. Basically, what slope flying means, is you take a wingsuit and glide a few meters above a slope. It doesn’t really get much more extreme than this. I think this can certainly be categorized as low level flying.
Sometimes, some messages aren’t for you. Another really funny commercial. Sometimes these commercials can be really crazy. Had a good laugh. A warning for all skydivers

With our precious oil reserves diminishing by the day, and as the price for fuel is on ascending trend, can this be the future of aviation? Redefining the expression ” Iron Bird”.
