The Red Bull Speed Run is probably the ultimate competition for the hang gliding adrenaline junkie. Get as fast as you can as low as you can through a series of gates… a recipe for a fantastic show. Lots of cool low passes, water skimming, loops and more crazy action performed by these professional dare devils.
This video shows that even helicopters have blind spots too and sometimes funny things happen when you least expect it. Check out this firefighting pilot who accidentally hits a truck with his bucket spreading his load all over.
This helicopter crew wanted to help out a few guys that had a boat engine problem. Well, that was a really stupid decision, since their helicopter went down for a swim. Not the brightest of helicopter pilots.
This guy really has balls as they say. He films this Swedish Gripen as it crashes. And, by the looks of it, the jet crashes really close by. And yet he doesn’t even bother, keeps on filming. The jet stalled after a low speed maneuver at the Stockholm Water Festival on August 8, 1993. Pilot safely ejected and got stuck in a tree. No one on the ground was injured. Official cause of the crash was PIO - Pilot Induced Oscilations.
A US Navy Ch-46 Sea Knight comes in to land. Only problem is the pilot doesn’t really do it well. Consequence? The helicopter falls short of the helipad and hits the drink.
