    Bell King Cobra Crash

    Particular sound P51D?

    'Videos of the Day' an ongoing thread

    Hi Royzee... Nice piece of video you posted my friend :wink: I know this pilot from earlier videos. It's the presentation what I like most about this guy. Very fun to watch as he explains the 'feel' of different aircraft he shows to the TV public. I still remember a flight, I thought in a...
