Here's a look at my set up. I just finished building my cockpit on Sunday and still have a few tweaks to make but it feels terrific to sit in and provides the most stable positioning that I have had yet. The Cockpit itself is a Akers-Barnes Cockpit, Mark 1 which I built from scratch after getting pe...

I don't if it helps or not but here is a link to several documents that the Freebirds have had on their website for quite some time:

I was playing around with another Mirage video and added some different music to it. Also I changed it's format to HD. Check it out and see what you think. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=41G8M28Z Just FYI I am not certain how good this file hosting website is so let me know if you have problems. Also ...

This might be an older video but it's well worth watching if you haven't already checked it out. Hope you enjoy it...

Thanks Tomcatboy! Really enjoyed that video and loved all of the different formations and solo manuevers. It blows my mind how they can coordinate 9 Pilots to work together so well in formation. Keep it coming!

I know, when I saw them do that one this year my jaw hit the ground!! They also did the double farvel roll which was stunning. The one thing they didn't do was the 5 ship line abreast roll/loop. I am hoping they put it back in the show this year.

The following is a link to a new Snowbirds video that was released and is being hosted on Patrick's Aviation Website. Pretty cool video with some nice up close footage including a side shot of the 9 ship line abreast flat pass and a close up the solos doing a canopy to canopy roll. http://www.patric...

I really enjoyed that article LD, especially after making the transition to the FSSB. Learned some new phrases such as "sampling" and "roll ratcheting." I think there is a follow up article to this one so I am going to search it out.

Here is a link to a magazine with some very very interesting online articles. Also, has some nice photos...Found this one on the Freebirds forum complements of AV8R.

The a-a mode refers to "Air to Air Mode." This means that you have selected the Air to Air Combat Mode which would allow you to employ your air to air weapons ie AMRAAMs, sidewinders and every other weapon used to attack/defend against other aircraft. This differs from "Air to Ground Mode" where you...

Generally speaking, heat seeking missles are for short range engagements ie 5 miles or less. Again which type of engagement are we talking about? Which jets are engaged? What type of missle is being used and what generation? What makes the F-22 so deadly is the fact that it can detect you from almos...
