Remember this...

Everybody else's music...




My preferred music...

You can always combine the two...

What a terrifying scene. Did the pilot manage to bale out?

That's looking pretty damn nice Carlos!

I take it you're doing a USMC scheme on this one?

Yeah he ejected a few seconds before it hit the road - he went out sideways horizontal to the ground. Me and paramedic found him just before the Air Ambulance landed. He was awake but I think he'd suffered a back injury - he was bloody lucky.

It was pretty shocking - if he'd have been flying about 10 degrees to the left, I've have had it in my face.

Ok, Stik and Blacksheep, do we need to have a talk about posting porn on here.

Plane porn?

JET PORN!!!!

LOL ! Carlos wants plane porn, Medic wants Jet porn. Can't please everybody can we?

Here's some pictures of a NASA Harrier I took in 1989 at an airshow a company I worked for put on. An AV-8A of some type I would guess.

These are some beautiful photos John, thank you.
