Well hell Im just now seeing this thread. I couldn't get past the first few seconds until I had to stop... and download it to a flash drive so I can watch it on the big screen. I live for this kind of # here, nothing on this planet is more exciting than an aerial dogfight. I think I squeaked a little bit about the 2:00 when the Vulcan went off. That's were life is, up there at 20,000ft doing 250kts in a 3.5 g turn.

This is better than the Van Halen video of the Blue Angles, and of all the Top Gun OST videos. I might have some to add if they haven't been posted yet, haven't made it past the first post though.

Not to be out done by the fighter pilots, here's some cool V-22 action. Filmed in WA, over the Yakima training range and through some of the Cascade's VFR's.

Close Air Support done right.

not a mashup of fast movers but still seriously cool.

Here is a short clip of the entire start sequence for all 4 engines of a C-17, time lapsed into 17 seconds. A task that normally takes 30 minutes on average.

Cool re-fuel video from the receiver's point of view:

Hell they got it easy. When we'd have bombers and fighter drags come through they had to run engines for an hour before departure.

Something with pretty decent optics to make the moon look that large, and a pretty stellar tracking system. If you were really bored you could probably do the math using the angular diameter of the moon and the KC-10's to figure out approximately how far away the observer was.
