- Ok, what nut job kept finding different ways to kill people with napalm? I was today years old when I found out we added napalm flame throwers to boats and called them "Zippo's". This is footage of them testing it in '68 and then later being used to burn down Vietnam in '70.👀
00:00 - A-10 freshly painted as a P-47 Thunderbolt. 😍
00:00 - I'm sure trained pilots will say, "Oh he has plenty of room. He's fine" 👀
00:00 - These have got to be the cutest little.........what tha, noooo, the horror!!👀
00:00 - How about some 70's Tomcat footage from the USS Enterprise upscaled to 4k. I'm slowly working on restoring some National Archive F-14 footage from the Enterprise and Nimitz. 🤘😎
00:00 - Oh my. DoD just releasing footage of an F-15E refueling from an undisclosed location, with ..Death etched into it's body 👀, making one of the most badass exits I've seen. No audio, so I improvised.🤘😎
00:00 - Holy crap, does anyone know what kind of snake this is or if it's venomous? I almost stepped on it.😀
00:00 - Some crazy footage from 1943ish at Reculver in Kent showing a de Havilland Mosquito releasing a Highball version of a bouncing bomb for testing purposes and almost taking out the camera man in the process. More vids of bouncing bombs coming soon.🫡
00:00 - I never thought I'd be so deep in the bowels of the National Archives that I'd randomly run across the famous toilet bomb launched over Vietnam from an A-1H Skyraider of VA-25, piloted by Cdr. Clarence W. Stoddard, but here I am.🤘😎
00:00 - "Put me in Coach. I'm ready to go!"🤘😎🤙
00:00 - The F-100D Super Sabre. Back from the days when the engineers said f'it, let's just strap a rocket to that biatch. My favorite era.🤘😎
00:00 - So my F-15 pilot friend has gladly let me share some of his favorite photos. I don't know the whole story, but it's circa 2010 and involves beer at some point and red flag at Nellis. I thought it was AI at first, but news flash, it's not. 🤣 🤘🦝🤙
- Today (or rather sleepless at 3am), I learned that Iran tests their ejection seats with an F-5 cockpit j-b weldeded to the tail of a Tu-154M.👀 Just wanted to share. Carry on. 🫡
