The aviation cargo plane airshow crash I think is that whichhappened at Farnborough air show some years ago, with the crew being able to walk away. The makers then advertised the plane as the one you can walk away from.
 
BNy the way, the B24 flak hit I believe is in fact a bomb strike from above. I had this clip on video, and going through it frame by frame you can quite clearly see something fall from above, not a flak type hit from below.
 
Couple of pretty bad crashes, one crazy stunt pilot, and a former World Champion RC helo driver...

If I remember rightly the Carabou crash was at the De Havilland test strip. It was caused by leaving a lock in place on one of the controls causing the climb to sharpen until it stalled out.
 
Hopefully this is a better first post than the one that guy made back on page 7 ; ) Unless I miss my guess here, the aircraft in the bike/car/jet drag race is a MiG-23. Lots of great vids buddy. I actually joined this forum just so I could view them (particularly the Luftwaffe gun cams). I'm glad that I did!
 
In the first one that shows the first F-4 crash - that was at Point Mugu in 2002 - I was there and saw it!!!!
 
Great Les. Some of those I had seen before, but not in a compilation form. The F-100 crash was supposedly caused by mis-rigging the ailerons backward. Information that I have from an SEA pilot indicated that this infamous maintenance F-up resulted in design changes of the port and starboard rigging to be different lengths so that this accident cause would be minimized in the future.

Flyboy might have further information, but my understanding was that this became common design requirements for all future aircraft procurements.
 
My Dad always told me there were two kinds of pilots: those who have bent a bird, and those who are going to. He was old school, to be sure. And pretty much correct. Luckily most are minor compared to these videos!
