Check out the airshow from the Blue's C-130 flightdeck. That is some serious control input. Cpt. Katie Higgins in the right seat.

Cool, the Thunderbirds are performing 34 miles east of me today in Mankato,MN.
My relief help has a nephew that is a crew chief for them and the entire family
received VIP tickets allowing them access to it all.

Gotta love the amount of stick over control in that C-130. thumbsup

Some serious negative G there. I suspect he wasn't intending
to jump up like that.

No they do that on purpose, otherwise they'd be strapped down. There are guys in the back who do the same thing. They hold onto a ladder strapped down and go up during the negative G's.

check out at the 6:30 mark


I went on a ride on Bert back in 2011, shortly after this pic I was dry heaving and then on my way to the hospital due to dehydration. Took in 7 IV bags...

The reason the pilot's intensely looking out the left window during tight left-hand turns is that he lost his wallet on the golf course below the other day......

Think if we show this to David Braben and get him to put bobbleheads back into E:D?

Very nice pics!! Definitely cute kid.

Speaking of the Belgian AF, do they still fly F-16's or did they switch over to the Eurofighter?

Oh F16, was watching a rehearsal for the local airshow yesterday with a fancy painted F16 going through it's routine. Today it was the turn of the C130 smile

I live a few km from the KB airbase
