Awesome Video Thread

[Jetpainter]

We all has our favorite videos that we like for a variety of reasons. I'm starting this thread for videos that are well made with a high production quality. Something that has not only awesome flying, but is beautifully filmed and with maybe even a killer soundtrack.

I purposely didn't put this in the 3D video area because I don't want it to be strictly 3D. Just awesome, high quality, aviation videos.

I'll start with a few I like, and add more as I find them, but please feel free to add some as well.

This one is the maiden of a full scale Pitts Model 12. I get butterflies on maidens of RC airplanes, imagine what it's like on a full scale when your life literally depends on it going well. The stuff filmed from the ground isn't very high quality, but the rest is cool.

My favorite from Joe Nall 2011, it was even more exciting in person but glad this person video'd it.

Here is another video of the Yellow Pitt's Model 12. I love these two airplanes!

And another of the red one.

Here is a short one of the red Pitt's to enjoy the sound of that engine. Not high quality, but it sounds sooooo good!

Here is a really high quality one of a Turbine Panther. The head on pass at 2:08 is bad ass!

This is an oldie but goody. This piqued my interest in GS flying many years ago, and I still love the video, the music and the commentary.
When I hit the lottery, I'm going to hire Bill Hempel to come hang out with me and my friends for a weekend... ;-)

Here is a cool one, but it makes my hands cold just watching it.

I like this one a lot for several reasons. As @pawnshopmike can attest Ryan is an awesome pilot, and on the rare Sunday when he and I are at the field at the same time I usually pack up my stuff, sit down, and enjoy the show. I was there when this was filmed and I'm surprised you cant hear me in the background arguing with an old timer that thought Ryan wasn't using the rudder when doing rollers.
