http://www.alexisparkinn.com/photogallery/Videos/B52_on_Final.jpg Video: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/10895.html?id=10895 (gamers site, but the sharpest video online) Looks, flies, and sounds like the real thing. Right down to the way it crabs off the runway on takeoff. Same plane sometime later: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=1250171221 Slightly different angle, but with better impact continuity: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=2679394 Which looks remarkably like this one: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=1904760261 Here's a B-29 with X-1. Impressive, until the engines are started. Sounds like a swarm of angry weed whackers. Too bad they don't make big radials in this size. Keep an eye on mini-me Chuck Yeager. http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=8094027 Here's another: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=26009853 Looks more convincing in flight, despite the single props. Hey, these guys take their model aircraft at least as seriously as we do our radio gear. IIRC, the B-52 owner had $40-$50K involved. |
