This is a GoPro video captured by the “Hurricane Hunters” of the US Air Force’s 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron as they fly through the eye of Hurricane Melissa. I don’t know about you, but I’ve known several Hurricane Melissas myself. Actually, every Melissa I’ve ever known. If you’re a Melissa
This is a video of maker of things Peter Sripol constructing and attempting to fly a single-person plane made almost entirely out of cardboard, hot glue, and tape. The plane is powered by brushless motors but has to be towed behind a car to take off. But does it fly?
This is a video of four Jetson ONE flying cars (actually single-seat electric octocopters that look like, and may actually be, flying coffins) racing each other and performing other aerial maneuvers during the ‘Jetson Air Games’ at UP Summit 2025 in Bentonville, Arkansas.

This is a video of climber Domen Škofic attempting a climbing route underneath the wings of a flying plane, using handholds made by his father. He falls on his first two attempts (he has a parachute or there only would have been one attempt), but manages to complete the route

It’s basically a carbon fiber quadrocopter with a laeser-cut foam Delorean body on top. Still, paint that thing stainless steel and you’ve got yourself the best
This is a video of the DD Squad successfully launching a human dart 40 feet to a velcro wall dangling 30 feet above water. That’s fun, I would do that. And by that I mean push the button to launch somebody else before they were ready.
This is a video of jazz musicians Dave Koz and the Summer Horns (Marcus Anderson, Marcel Anderson, Jeff Bradshaw, Leo P, and Evan Taylor) playing an impromptu concert for an Alaskan Air flight from St. Louis to Seattle (neither of which is in Alaska) during a 3-hour delay. That’s cool.
