A Stunning U.S. Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet Video



The Aviationist: Another stunning U.S. Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet video

Here’s another really cool video filmed from aboard F/A-18E Super Hornets with the U.S. Navy’s Strike-Fighter Squadron 27 (VFA-27) “Royal Maces”.

Based at Naval Air Facility Atsugi, in Japan, VFA-27 is part of Carrier Air Wing 5 and is attached to the USS George Washington (CVN-73).

The video is just a teaser to this year’s full-length cruise video dubbed “That’s a Shack!” but it contains much interesting stuff, including the AGM-154 JSOW delivery as seen from the ATFLIR pod, low level flying in the canyons, dogfights and flight deck operations.

WNU Editor: Yup .... a cool video.

U.S. Marine Survives A Sniper Shot To The Helmet In Afghanistan (Video)



Viral Video: Marine Survives Sniper Shot To The Helmet In Afghanistan -- Washington Post

The Marines are deep in southern Afghanistan when they peer out of a doorway. One of them asks if there is cover from gunfire outside. Seconds later, there is the crack of a single gunshot, and a sniper rifle round deflects off the top of one of their helmets.

“Oh, s—!” the hit Marine says, as he and his fellow Marines scramble back inside the compound.

The gritty video has gone viral this week, and appears to have been recorded on a camera mounted to one of the Marine’s helmets. It depicts a hair-raising sequence of events — and one American who got incredibly lucky.

My Comment: This is one very lucky marine. I guess it is not his time to go.

Incredible Video Of A Leopard II Tank Travelling At 70 km/h Stopping Dead In It's Tracks A Few Feet Away From A Group Of Test Subjects



Footage Of Tank Using Crowd Of People For Full-Speed Brake Demo Goes Viral (VIDEO) -- RT

Sixty-three-ton tanks don’t usually demonstrate their braking prowess on a group of volunteers dressed in black tie, which is why footage of such a stunt has produced one of the most heart-stopping viral videos in recent history.

The clip in question depicts a $5 million Leopard II tank accelerating to its full speed of 70 km/h just prior to stopping mere feet away from a group of test subjects who have their backs to the beastly machine. Since surfacing on a Dutch website last week the footage has gathered millions of views on various video-sharing sites.

My Comment: The skeptic in me says that it is a fake .... and a very good one at that.

Heavy Military Trucks Being Dropped From A Plane (Video)



Crazy Video: Heavy Military Trucks Being Dropped From A Plane -- Gizmodo

"Some heavy big trucks being dropped from a military plane in the middle of the night," says the YouTube description, "huge machines, being launched at incredible speed!" Indeed. I love the faces of those soldiers waiting to jump after the trucks:

The soldiers and the hardware belong to the the 509th Parachute Infantry Regiment, which "was the first combat paratrooper unit of the United States Army formed during World War II." They're being dropped from a C-17 Globemaster III operated by the United States Air Force's 517th Airlift Squadron.

My Comment: Three trucks dropped in under 30 seconds .... that is impressive.

Awesome Video Of U.S. Navy Pilot Flying F-18 Fighter Jet



Thrilling Video of Pilot Flying F-18 Fighter Jet -- Trending Now/Yahoo News

How awesome would it be to sit at the gears of a fighter jet and see the world from tens of thousands of feet above ground at speeds of hundreds of miles per hour? Most of us will never get the opportunity to fly a fighter jet, of course, but worry not, you can now experience the view.

A new YouTube video uploaded by a Navy pilot gives viewers a firsthand experience inside the cockpit of an F-18 Super Hornet -- no rigorous training required. The video was uploaded by YouTube user Sir Francis 92, whose nickname matches the name on the pilot's helmet. It documents an entire flight from takeoff to landing from the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower.
