Shawn,

Nice site. I liked the video of the Thunderbird but the SU-27 in Paris was better. (Scratch one from their side.)

I couldn't get the Van Halen F-15 video, which is excellent by the way, to play all the way through. Is there anything I can do to get it to upload past 1:31 with my old dial up modem?

Thanks for the videos and thanks in advance.

Try right clicking the link and say "Save Target as"

Thanks for the compliment, though I of course didn't make any of the videos, most are stuff that I have found around the net, that I have been trying to collect all in one place.

It's a pity that some of the videos are so hard to find, I have to look around, but I have a video somewhere of both the T-birds, and the Blue Angels when they were in the F-4.

Hmmm, I did that and got a very quick download in just ten seconds, but all I got was the first 1:34 of the 3:59 video.

Could there be something amiss on your end? Could I get the source for the video from you?

One of the squadrons that is flying the F-15E is my old squadron. In fact, the one shot of the guy taxiing out, looking over his shoulder at the ramp with the fish eye lens is from my old base at Seymour Johnson (SJ on the tail). The formation takeoff is from the Shady J too.

I'd really like to have the whole thing; it really is beautifully done. Your collection is great, I just need more time to go through it all.

Thanks in advance.

Hmm it pulls down for me, I checked it when you reported having isssues.

Have you tried to clear you IE cache (Temporary Internet Files)? But if you have continued problems PM me, I might be able to hook you up with another download site.

How astute of you to think of that! I had completely forgot to empty the cache for a couple of weeks. After I got rid of 138 megs, the video downloaded completely--

--in ONLY 2 hours and 30 minutes! (I have to upgrade to the new DSL Verizon offers.)

Anyway the video was great! There were a lot of scenes I remember being a ground attack guy (mostly) myself, because a lot of the video features the E model. At the short portion cruising through the valley I pointed at the screen and said to the wife who was watching it with me, "That's what I used to do -man there's nothing like cruising around at low level!"

Many thanks again, you made my day.

It's a pleasure, it's why I put the website up, aviation videos put a smile on my face when I am stuck behind a desk, or if I can't fly because of weather.

That video is probably the best that I have seen. Still wondering who made it, had to have been someone in the USAF (or at least close to it) to get all those shots.

It's funny the coincidences I get with those videos the other major one in that folder (USA_Jump, US Army set to the song Jump) has several units jumping from the C-130, among them were men from the 10th Mountain, and the guy who noticed it was a SAW gunner that was with them at Mog. He went out twice with the Rescue groups that they sent out to evac the rangers.

Super80 you in Florida? Because around here Verizon was offering basic DSL for $30 a month, which is how much I pay on my fax for the local service and taxes.

To whoever posted this link on prrune.org:

Wow, once again I have been shown that popularity is a b*tch, I have broken my previous one day record of 10GB, and moved at least 14 GB's yesterday. Yikes, unfortunately due to changes at my hosts end, my failover may not have worked quickly as it use to, and may have resulted in somepeople not able to get to the site, or slower access.

Well at least I can prove that Win2003 is a descent webserver.
