https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE792Y9hyww — "Airbus Perlan 2"
Now that's one high-flying glider. Past 76,000 feet and aiming for 90,000.

"DC-3 on Floats"

The coolest mod I ever saw!
Our favorite, the one and only host of our national version of "Wheel of fortune" likes to fly DC-3 or its Li-2 clone (or anything that flies, really). Recently, he had participated in a TV documentary about controlling planes in general and modern planes in particular. I have a sinking suspicion having him at controls is safer than any professional pilot -- because he knows flying, not working the computer that flies the plane. him landing a 737 Max in a simulation scenario with both engines failed.


And now for an obscure late 70s Soviet cartoon (based on a book published in 1937)
Dastardly mafiozos defeat Agent 00X using unconventional application of ectricity: https://youtu.be/Tn7Lju40lj8?t=4799
He gets saved later by his trusty robo-dog companion: https://youtu.be/Tn7Lju40lj8?t=5141

They christened their yacht "Victory", but the first two letters fell off turning it into "Disaster": https://youtu.be/Tn7Lju40lj8?t=338 The following scene is the captain singing about importance of ship's name and how it affects the said ship's fate.
Yeah.
It's not a mysterious phenomena, the sea is boiling because there's a whale suffering from high fever: https://youtu.be/Tn7Lju40lj8?t=5305

Dastardly mafiozos defeat Agent 00X using unconventional application of ectricity:

Unconventional indeed!!! And with the dog followup, made me wonder if there's any connection to Inspector Gadget.
Some nice visual puns, just a pity my Russian amounts to about 5 words or something.

One-cat approach in an ultralight.

[Neko-]

Cat.whatever - Kai Tak Heart Attack approach to runway 13. That airport is closed nowadays, so no more heart attacks for pilots no more.

When looking at the approach from the ground

[Ellen Kuhfeld]

Descent through heavy clouds to Titan.

[Té Rowan]

Totally neat — the auralisation, too.

Anyway, you know that remote airports tend to be… interesting. Here is Ísafjörður (BIIS) again:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N831tlDKS7c — Direct to 26. (Seen from outside)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QbWCB8AzLA — Circling to 08.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhSuRyG4rbE — Direct to 08. Only shot in very good weather.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8C2NlRLt58 — Crooked to 08. Also a good-weather approach.

Akureyri (BIAR):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4tI2eT5VAY — Direct to 01.

Vestmannaeyjar (BIVM):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_z65YEAltgg — Circling to 22.

Over to the Orkneys:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdSi_oA38d0 — The world's shortest regular air route.

Norway:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sd7VUFG9IWE — A Widerøe flight lands at Mosjøen. I'm sure airlines pick speed drummers as right-seaters on Dash 8s.

Definitely a heart attack factory...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brGIqzO5V4w — "Path to Safety" (1966)
The Chicken Wings comic in front of a camera?

[Té Rowan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mX9L8IuiwJA — "Into the Fire" from Sky Knights.
Odd. I thought Youtube did not admit pr0n. Because the way these Mirages fly and dance is 150% aviation pr0n.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwrEPlKAPAc — “Cactus 1549”: A piece for ATC tapes and an orchestra.
Think “Miracle on the Hudson”. The bit below I just had to write today after hearing “Teterboro Tower”.

“LaGuardia Tower, Cactus fifteen-forty-nine.
Mayday, Mayday, Mayday, I'm in an awful bind.
I hit some birds, my engines quit, I gotta turn around.
Can you tell me, gentlemen, where a runway’s to be found?”

A few versions of Tchaikovsky's 1812 ouverture:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NJRCCgK_AM — A 'flashmob' orchestra with large drums.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUmu-dmF4us — Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at Royal Albert Hall.

[Ellen Kuhfeld]

It's your own fault. You forced me to do this. Nonon Jakuzure Attacks from Kill La Kill.

Sorry it's a dub, and rather edited; but this version had the most of it.

[Té Rowan]

What's that bare-butt belieber mean... bad music?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AwIWi6r0p4 — Under the Double Eagle.
Rather a shame that I didn't catch her naming it at the beginning.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhWRmtsPCdM — The Light Cavalry ouverture.
At least I did recall this one in the without help.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7O91GDWGPU — William Tell ouverture.
The original full-throttle music?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Diu2N8TGKA — Can Can
Yep, they definitely can-can.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ouMaLRth-s — A Fifth of Beethoven

[Ellen Kuhfeld]

But - but - it's one of the few cartoons with more violence than Tom and Jerry. Gotta love that. Strangely enough, the insane plot makes a kind of twisted sense at the end.
