It's a VHS recording of a documentary made close to thirty years ago about an expedition which goal was to get a Jeep Comanche as close as possible to Iceland's tallest peak, preferably all the way to the top. It's almost 45 minutes long, and I can't even begin to guess how many ads the Tyoube will throw in your way.

The odd stripes to the right are an artifact of the Discret 2 scrambling the station used at that time.

On a somewhat larger scale, here is an Airbus 320 performing some less catastrophic stunts.

Adblocker works fine against youtube crap.

"Knuffingen", lol...
If that was here, it would be like naming an airport in an Englishspeaking place something like "Pushing-y" or "The Pushing"...

Bits of German aviation:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNIpJcOZPlA — Me163 Komet
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FA1yCfz9s4 — Me262 Schwalbe

Too bad the former can only fly unpowered.

The original fuels used were both toxic and extremely volatile, and using something else may work "unexpectedly", so not a good idea either.
Also, it's a replica rather than a fixerupper original, so, it's built purely as a glider already. Empty weight a mere 285kg rather than the 1905kg of the original(before fuel and ammo), and even the originals were decent gliders as it was how they were supposed to get back to base after they ran out of fuel and the design was actually based on glider concepts as well.


And the -262, that is just one impressive bird. In the late 40s/early 50s, a consortium formed to make an upgraded version of it to compete for a US fighter contract. It was disqualified by default for not being a US design, but modern computer simulations of the suggested upgrade says it would likely have dominated the fighter that got the contract.
I've forgotten which fighter it was meant to compete with though and difficult to figure out because of the mess the US fighter programs were first decade after WWII(so many different fighters in serial production...).

And not to forget, looks good.

Had to skip any talking, but... So beautiful.
The road at the end and the people who gnawed it through the mountains are badassery incarnates.

Watching old computer shows can be fun.

I don't know if it was the first ever series about microcomputers, but it was the first one I saw.

I don't think this series was ever shown here.

The real funny part is knowing where we are now, with virtualization, cloud, internet, terabytes to exabytes of storage and broadband... running circles around most anything being said
