b777.jpg (66387 bytes)    10 MB movie in "wmv" format (should play on Windows Media Player 7.0 or newer).  Jumbo jet crash lands on interstate highway. You may want to have "broad band" to download this one... or start downloading and find something to do for a half-hour (if you are using a modem). This is a creation of two young graphic artists using computer animation and real footage.  It is impressive and well worth the long download. More information on how they did it here.

747.jpg (311813 bytes)    Jumbo jet landing that you will NEVER forget... in other words, how NOT to land a 747 in Hong Kong!  Must see this! (Less than 1 MB in length, "mpg" format) The picture on this particular button is a KLM 747... click here for the full sized picture.

B52Sonic.jpg (27621 bytes)        Ever see the speed of sound?  Watch a Navy jet just a wing span off the water do a fly-by for the camera only 100-feet away.  Notice that the sonic boom is just about simultaneous with the jet's passing the camera!  Turn up the volume on this one!! (Less than 1 MB, "mpg" format... you will want to see this one... and save it to your hard drive!)  The button above is actually of a B52... if you want the full sized picture, click here.

 

spin.jpg (72967 bytes)Ever wonder what a spin looks like from inside the cockpit? Check this out!  (Small clip, less than 1.0 MB, "mpg" format)  If you want the scoop on spins, click here.  If you want a bigger version of the above picture, click here.

 

More movie clips to be posted soon... please come back.

 

Hints:  Couldn't get the movies to play? With Windows computers, try holding down the shift key while left-clicking on the above icons.  This should bypass your browser's ideas of how to play a movie and allow you to save the movie to your disk... you can then open the file with Windows Media Player or any third party video player.  Remember where you save the file (you should be prompted) and open it up with Windows Media Player.
