This guy is lucky he did not get blown away. He was behind an AirBus 300 that was gearing up to go for takeoff. There is so much thrust generated by planes that he had to hold on for dear life or he would have been blown away. This was definetly not a good idea on his part but it makes for good video!

Here we see Czar 52, a B-52H assigned to the 325th Bomb Squadron, 92d Bomb Wing, Fairchild Air Force Base, WA, was practicing maneuvers for an upcoming airshow. The aircrew had planned and briefed a profile, through the Wing Commander level, that grossly exceeded aircraft and regulatory limitations.
Upon preparing to land at the end of the practice airshow profile, the crew was required to execute a “go-around” or missed approach because of another aircraft on the runway. At mid-field, Czar 52 began a tight 360 degree left turn around the control tower at only 250 feet altitude above ground level (AGL). Approximately three quarters of the way through the turn, the aircraft banked past 90 degrees, stalled, clipped a power line with the left wing and crashed. There were no survivors out of a crew of four field grade officers.

In this clip, an F-16 Thunderbird attempts a maneuver known as a 1/2 Cuban 8. You need to start the maneuver with enough altitude to finish it off, though. Unfortunately, this pilot did not. I’m sure he got yelled at for this mistake and probably had to peel some potatos but atleast he lived!

Last September a Thunderbird F-16C crashed just after takeoff during an airshow performance in Idaho. The pilot managed to eject 0.8 seconds before impact and walked away with only minor injuries.
As one might expect at an airshow, there were many cameras trained on Thunderbird #6 when the accident occured.

With the price of almost everything on the rise it is hard to find anything for cheap. One of the things you may need to find cheap is car insurance. Finding cheap car insurance can be a very difficult procedure.
Progressive Direct have come up with CarInsurance.com. It is an online insurance marketplace that gives the opportunity to consumers and insurance companies to meet. They offer the ability to shop for car insurance online. They will meet the consumers’ requests and solve insurance companies’ needs. The consumers then can receive quotes from many different insurance companies. In some states you can even buy your car insurance over the internet. How unbelievable is that?
They also used their online insurance calculator on the Fast and the Furious dvd to show how much damage costs were a result from all the car crashes. This was a way to advertise to the customer without having the same old ads.
The missile dropped by this F18 Hornet hit the A-4 Skyhawk which was flying next to the F18. The A-4 burst into flames after the impact. Fortunately, the pilot managed to eject from his fighter. The pilot in the A-4 was extremely lucky that he did not die from this and was able to eject safely and quickly.

This is cockpit video of a training flight in a BAe Hawk (CT-155-202) as it ingests a bird into its engine right after takeoff. They were doing about 230 knots (265 mph) and at 200 feet above ground level (AGL) when they sucked in the bird. The one and only engine flamed out almost immediately. There was a student and instructor in the airplane at the time. The instructor immediately took control and climbed as high as he could get the airplane to go, about 1700 AGL, in preparation for ejection. The instructor traded airspeed for altitude, confirmed that engine temperatures remained high, reduced throttle to idle and told the student to “prepare to abandon the aircraft”. When the aircraft descended through 1000 AGL the instructor transmitted his intention to eject to Moose Jaw tower. After confirming the student was ready, the IP ordered and initiated ejection. The student suffered only minor injuries, while the instructor suffered severe damage to his spine and a broken leg.

With the internet being as big at it is right now, there is one major question you are probably asking yourself. How can I make money on the internet. USWeb have come up with an answer to this: Blogitive.com.
Blogitive allows blog owners to post articles and all they have to do is link a keyword or keywords to the url provided and if it meets the requirements they receive payment for the posting. The usual payout is $5 but that can change in the future. Their requirements are very basic. There must be two posts between the posts you post for money and these filler posts must contain at least 50 words each. For the actual post you get paid for it must only have one link in it and contain at least 100 words. How can it get any more simple?
I personally use blogitive on on this blog and they pay every week and have had nothing but great experience with them. They are quick to reply and there are always new postings coming in each week for you to snatch up and post about. If you have a blog it means you like to write. Why not get paid for doing something you love?
A Harrier jet loses vertical thrust over the water during an airshow and the pilot has to ditch the aircraft and eject. He safely ejects however he lands right back on where the jet crashed. Luckily for him the jet was not on fire at the time. This is definetly a video to watch.
