Another one, this time UH-1Y Venom. The minigun jammed a few times.

Great video from pilot's perspective.  I think it's the first one I've ever seen with a camera in from of the HUD.

Old video introducing the F-16C

Quite detailed and easy to understand

Attack helicopters (Marine and Army) working over some targets with guns and rockets. Get some!

Professional video of Lufthansa A380 landing at San Francisco. High Quality and multiple camera views.

Nice. I love the sounds. "Seat of your pants" flying

[Lusik]

It truly is. One of the pilots who flies this F.E.2b said that you judge combustion and correct mixture by looking at the engine smoke. There is no sideslip and turn indicator too. Your ass has to feel whether you are in a coordinated turn.

Lufthansa Cargo MD-11F landing in Quito at Mariscal Sucre International Airport (SEQU) which is now closed and is a park (with the runway still there). The airport was in the middle of the capital city of Ecuador. The new airport (same name) ICAO code SEQM was built 18km (11 mi) east of the city and began operation on July 2, 2012 at 0619 hours local time when an American Airlines B757 with 100 PAX landed there.

The airport elevation is 2,400 m / 7,874 ft AMSL (Above Mean Sea Level) which makes it a challenge for heavy jets because of the thin air. In contrast, Denver International (KDEN) is at 1656.2 m / 5433.8 ft., so Quito is quite a bit higher.

FSX Pilots

If you're thinking of flying to the new airport in FSX, you won't find it. SEQM is not in stock FSX. Aerosoft has an SEQU scenery addon, but no professional / payware version of the airport yet. I do not recommended flying to SEQU for current flight ops to Quito since AIRAC data will not find it! Fortunately the Ecuador VATSIM division has a freeware version of SEQM to download from their site here. Enjoy!

I know this video was posted I while back, but I am in the mood to comment on it..

The minigun jams one time, at 2:21. It appears to be a feed jam. That's the only jam in the video.  Feed jams are the most common jams on the minigun, and they are still quite rare. Anyway, at 2:26, he is shooting the gun clear (there is one live round in the gun, which fires, and a bunch of already fired rounds that were yet to be ejected). You know he's clearing the gun because the feeder/delinker is not installed...he puts it back on after that segment. At 3:18, he is either out of ammunition, or he's hit the last round switch (like the end of belt switch in AFVs) and the gun spins down normally for self-clearing.  The rest of the video show no more minigun issues.

Thanks for the explanation Cupcake.
