Aircraft crash and incident videos I've gathered from various places on the internet. This is a perennial favorite, if my server logs are any indication.

C-130 goes mano-a-mano against an Eagle. The result? See the photos for yourself.

Were the pilots of Jet Blue 292 heroes? The media seems to think so. I, on the other hand, make the case that they were not heroes, just aviators doing the exact thing they'd been trained year after year to do.

Gyroscopic precession is not well-understood by most aviators... unless they're aerobatic pilots, that is.

Photos of the Southwest Airlines overrun incident at Midway Airport, along with an interesting story about political restrictions on Chicago airspace that came about as a result.

Photos of some very impressive fire fighting done with the world's largest operational flying boat, the Martin Mars.

Talk about your close calls! Fascinating on-board and external video of the crash of Thunderbird #6 during an airshow in Idaho.

A look back at the the big events that took place for me in aviation during 2011, along with a few photos.
