I've always been partial to this video. It's a couple Mirages over northern Africa flying low as hell.

Jets over the desert always bring forth the dreams of being in the Air Force.

I've wanted to be a pilot since I was about 3.

I'd like to give a shout-out to the best fighter that almost was: The Northrop F-20 Tigershark.

Based on the F-5 airframe, the Tigershark was updated with cutting edge avionics, a slightly different design for better aerodynamics, and a MUCH more powerful engine. If the F-5 is the Miata of jet aircraft, the F-20 is the Miata with a LSx swap.

I'd have loved to see these flown by a military demonstration team. Would have been perfect for, say, the Thunderbirds, but instead they fly the incredibly overrated F-16.

Last page ago, but holy poo poo is that gorgeous.

I would blow Dane Cook posted:

Aside from Snakes on a Plane, can anyone think of examples of a non-pilot landing a plane in an emergency (when the pilot had a heart attack or something).

Guy technically was briefly a pilot, though.
