L-39 Cold War Era Jet Demo

by AirDotShow

June 11, 2021

The Czechoslovakian L-39 first flew November 4, 1968. Thousands remain in active service as trainers, and many are finding new homes with private warbird owners all over the world. This is particularly evident in the United States, where their $200,000–$300,000 price puts them in range of moderately wealthy pilots looking for a fast, agile personal jet....

C-17 Globemaster III

May 18, 2021

The C-17 Globemaster III is the newest, most flexible cargo aircraft to enter the airlift force. The C-17 can take off and land on runways as short as 3,500 feet and only 90 feet wide. Even on such narrow runways, the massive 500,000 pound jet can turn around using a three-point star turn and its backing capability. During a C-17 full capabilities demonstration its agility and ability to maneuver defies imagination and its ability to stop in less than 2,500 feet during a combat landing simulation is equally as impressive....

A-10 Thunderbolt IIs

June 4, 2020

The A-10 Thunderbolt II better known as the "Warthog" is a single-pilot attack aircraft designed for short takeoffs and landings from primitive airfields. The A-10 can operate nearly anywhere and provide ground troops with close air support. The entire aircraft was largely designed around its nose gun, a 30 mm Avenger cannon. The seven-barrel rotary cannon measures nine feet long and fires 30mm armor-piercing shells at a rate of nearly 4,000 rounds per minute. As a result it has been given the nickname “Tank killer”. The Avenger cannon also represents over 15 percent of the aircraft's weight. When the gun is removed for maintenance, the A-10's tail must be supported to keep the nose from tipping up....

F-22 Raptor Demo Team

by ArDotShow

June 2, 2020

The F-22 Raptor is the fastest and most maneuverable fighter jet in the world today. The F-22's twin engines produce more thrust than any other fighter. Combined with its sleek aerodynamic design, this allows the F-22 to “Supercruise” at 1.5 times the speed of sound without using fuel consuming afterburner. The F-22’s unique thrust vectoring and advanced flight controls allow it to outmaneuver any other aircraft. The F-22 Raptor demo puts thrust vectoring on full display during its demonstration defying imagination as it climbs straight up, stops in mid-air, then reverses towards the ground before flipping the nose around in a summersault at near zero forward speed. The F-22 makes sharp, sudden turns displacing and compress air into vapor and...

December 28, 2016

The B-25 Bomber was used by the U.S and its allies in every theater of World War II. The B-25 came to fame on April 18, 1942 during the Doolittle Raid. Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle led 16 B-25s in a daring attack on mainland Japan, four months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Launched from the aircraft carrier Hornet, the raid was a one way mission as the aircraft could only launch and not land from its short deck....

F-35 Lightning II Demo Team

by ArDotShow

December 28, 2016

The F-35 Lightning II, also known as the Joint Strike Fighter, is the most advanced stealth fighter in the world today. The full capabilities demonstration of the F-35 features 12 different maneuvers and lasts approximately 15 minutes. During the demo, some of the maneuvers will see the F-35 as low as 200 feet off the ground and at speeds that exceed 700 mph. The two most eye-popping maneuvers include the pedal turn where the F-35 drops in a tight turn at near zero forward speed and the tactical pitch where the jets enters at a high speed and then turns abruptly to literally skid across the sky. > Click Here for more information on the F-35 Lightning II....
