Doublepost: Somebody has spliced together footage taken from a airshow at Freeman Field in September 1945. Starts with footage of a Ju 290 landing. In addition to a bunch of captured Kraut machines, pretty much every aircraft in the US invintory does a flyby. The B-32 looks goofy as gently caress.

Also, the only thing actually roped off is the Me 163 and two nazi helicopters.

Hs 129, He 111, Macchi 202, Me 410, Ar 234, Me 163, Ju 88, Me 262, V-1, V-2, probably more.

What is between the Spitfire and the Macchi 202 at 5:02? Something Japanese?

The RF-8A's who overflew later that day almost certainly were fired upon by the Cubans, however.

Good thing the runway is wide enough for both planes to take off at the same time.

That's actually standard for a formation takeoff.

I just heard this playing in my head with the F-16 shot. Where is that?

Huh, I figured they were just making it dramatic for movies. But I guess it saves time if you don't have to form up after takeoff.

From what I have seen its not typical though. For most flights the later jets will just use more throttle/use afterburner to catch up to the group. From 100 yards away an F-16 on full afterburner makes a hell of a noise and rattles you something good.

Have a friend who flies f-16's and from what all I have heard I wonder how many of the ones in this picture have warning lights on or are broken.

Basically mx surged for a week prior to that to scrape together enough tails for the event, and they'll be recovering from the dog/pony show for at least a week, maybe 2 depending on how broke they were before it kicked off.

It looks like the right landing gear collapsed after landing, but the plane doesn't appear too badly damaged, all things considered. The first picture of the left side of the plane made it look like the right wing had broken in half though.

INDIA-AIRCRAFT ACCIDENT
^{Edit Number: 5141 / Revision 2| 07/11/14 11:51:10}
Plane hits stray buffalo during take-off in India

STORY: A SpiceJet plane crashed into a stray buffalo during take-off from India's western Surat city on Thursday (November 06) although no passengers or crew were hurt.

The airline was forced to ground the Boeing 737 which suffered "substantial damages", plane's operator said. SpiceJet said the buffalo, which was killed in the accident on Thursday evening, was "essentially invisible" against a dark background. Passengers on the Delhi-bound aircraft were transferred on to another plane, SpiceJet said.

Air Vice-Marshal (Retired), Indian Air Force, Kapil Kak, said a thorough inquiry should be launched and infrastructure of all airports across the country should be reviewed. He also said that the incident happened due to monumental security lapse and the tarmac should be properly fenced to avoid such incidents in future. "It is absolutely shocking because it is a life of 140 passengers which was at stake. Secondly, it is lucky, god's mercy that the aircraft was saved because take off role is a critical stage of an aircraft flight. Landing and take off these are the two critical segments. So we could have lost 140 lives," said Kak in New Delhi.

Poorly maintained fences at some Indian airports mean animals can stray onto runways.

"Stray animals are a growing menace in some airports," SpiceJet said in a statement. "This incident has affected our regular operations and hence SpiceJet flights from Surat will now be suspended after this incident."

Meanwhile, Kak held Surat airport responsible for the incident. He also slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not upgrading airport infrastructure in his own home state. "This is not a fault of the airline. This is the fault of the Surat airport who controls Surat airport, the airport authority of India, who controls the Airport Authority of India, the ministry of civil aviation of the government of India. Surat is in Gujarat and a Gujarati is the prime minister of India," said Kak.

The passengers were later booked on an alternate flight which had come from Mumbai. Indian airports are not new to stray animals including dogs, deer and wild boars causing delays to flights, despite heightened security over fears of terrorist attacks.
