Classic British Flight Sim

Just watched these videos again. I know they may have been seen so many times before. But no matter how many times you watch them, they still defy belief! :shock:
I have never seen an Airliner do anything quite like it ever before! Imagine being sat in the passenger seat?! :sicky:

right Vegas
I perticularly like the 707 roll and the way the pilot handled
himself when explaining his actions to the bossman.
.........selling aeroplanes

It did the trick as well. Right.... where's my CaptainSim model? gonna give that a try :dance:

Where's my VC10? Ill show em how its done!

"Vegas!! Your fired!!.."

One can imagine the look on the Boeing hierarchy's faces when he pulled that off in front of them and all the reps from the airlines

:shock: :huf: :tuttut:

Hard to tell upside down against the ground...but that doesn't look like the 367-80

I think the second video (featuring Bob Hoover) appears to be taken from a BBC series called Reaching for the Skies, which I'd all but forgotten about until I saw this clip.

It aired in the mid to late 80's and was narrated by Anthony Quayle (the German spy from Ice cold in Alex).
Each program covered a different area of aviation and if my memory serves included fighters, bombers, transports, airliners, general aviation and probably a few others.

Does anyone else remember seeing it or better yet know if it's available on DVD? I'd really like to watch it again as I remember it being a great aviation series and in the days before Discovery Wings it was a bit of a rarity. It even had some great opening theme music.
