This is a video from RED SIDE visualizing and comparing the speeds of various aircraft, beginning with incredibly slow planes like the Wright Flyer (30MPH) and ending with modern jets like the SR-71 Blackbird (2,500MPH). And to think the Wright Flyer first took to the sky only 120 years ago.

Note: Lower your volume, jet taking off. Captured on the last day of the Boeing Seafair Air Show, this is a video of an F-35 Lightning II taking off from the Boeing Field runway. Such power — I wish I could have been there. I wish I could have felt

This is a video of Polish stunt pilot Lukasz Czepiela landing a specially modified plane (total weight reduced to 940 pounds, main fuel tank moved to rear for harder braking, plus nitrous added for taking off again) on the 87-foot diameter helipad atop the 56-story Burj Al Arab Jumeirah hotel

This is a video imagining what the retired Concorde jet’s Mach 2 (twice the speed of sound) cruising speed, or around 1,350MPH, looks like at ground level. It’s definitely fast, but things really don’t go by as quickly as I thought they would. Now what I really need to see

San Francisco airport has two runways (28L and 28R, which at least to me stand for left and right like I label my shoes) 750-feet apart that run perfectly parallel to each other, at times leading to two planes landing at the same time in what looks like a performance

This is a video of Instagram user its.PilotJohn performing a nosedive to allegedly wake up his female passenger with a little weightlessness. It’s true, I’ve found nothing wakes you up in a hurry quite like thinking you’re about to die. Was she actually asleep though? That’s debatable. A debate you

Planes: it’s hard to believe they even work. Although I suppose with enough wind wizards held captive in the cargo hold, anything is possible. This is a visualization comparing the sizes of various aircraft from diminutive one-seaters, to the 747, AND BEYOND. I learned a lot by watching it. Mostly,

This is a cockpit POV video of a plane losing engine power at 600-feet and having to make a crash landing in a nearby cornfield. This is why I don’t like flying — engines fail, and things go wrong. I mean we’re not birds, flying is unnatural. If God intended
