To save trolling through 61 pages of posts, any nominations for the all-time best crash video?

My vote would go for the jet crash video where the guy input wrong rudder control, and splattered all down the runway. I believe Mr Happy Crash posted that one.

My two cents go for the gray headed candidates for the Darwin awards who are trying to fly the huge B-24. First pointing at themselves while starting and flying straight for the parking lot on the first flight.

i guess my favorites would be, viper jet crash..nice fire ball a total loss.. and the tip stall of the 3 engine italian bomber was too cool, although it's bad when it happens, it does make for some nice video

Can anyone provide link to Mr Happy Crash's vid of the Kangaroo jet crash? Sounds great bit I couldn't find a link that worked.

Outacntrl - Viper a definite contender - gotta love a good fireball!

Other nominations?

Well, we have had plenty of new videos since then haven't we?

If anybody can find the one of the jet hitting power lines I'd go for that one.

My personal two favorites,
This one I got a chance to see in life while running my camcorder. It also made SKS Crasher 4 DVD.

Gravityisnotmyfriend,

Yeah, I figured someone may have done this before, but like I said, with 61 pages of posts who knows what's in there.......

BDAD's "Raven" one's pretty good - definitely need to see the impact. Those "into the trees" ones just don't cut it Straining a P51 through a tree was a good effrt too - who lets these guys fly such nice planes!!??!!

If anyone remembers the Germans with the chopper that wouldn't die, now THAT was funny.....not that I'd laugh at others' misfortunes you understand

The B-24 video shows a prime example of what not to do.


But the raven crash is just sick. Had to be dumbthumbs or surface failure. just sickening. It pops off the ground so quickly...then it all goes bad.

My favorite crash video is the B-52 crash, just spectacular, and heart breaking.

If I had a site to upload a few I have collected I would, but I don;t like those hosting sites that force you to use their viewer. I have multiple jet crash video that must have made a couple of hobbyshops a lot of black ink.

I have video of me drilling a Yak-54 , but that doesn;t compare to these. I know it was me that put my Yak in, but the video makes it look like it could have snapped on it's own. I wonder what the raven pilot thought happened??

Gentleman, I believe we have a winner. That Kangaroo crash has all the elements in spades - lotsa speed, lotsa spectators, lotsa $$$$ and LOTSA teeny weeny little pieces!!!!! And right in front of the camera no less. Great work behind the lens too.

"Hi honey, how was your day at the flying field?"..............

The pilot should get some sort of award for his efforts - the Hindenberg Trophy?

Yup, that kangaroo crash was definatly tops in my book for most impressive crash. That was awesome. Kinda feel sorry for the pilot, but that was spectacular.

Jesuss , man what a pity, such a challenging project to make a small splashyyy loop in the maiden flight. Anyway if I´m not wrong the F-117 needs the help of a computer system in order to fly due to its singular shape so its doesn´t surprise me too much that that thing could fly too well (or maybe they had the CG too aft, no idea).That reminds me of mine, my CG was too back and not enough engine, it run through the whole runway pretty fast yeahh but it didn´t take off(just 30 cm or so) and then I broke the landing gear.Maybe one day I´ll repair it, not right now.

That makes you remember why maidens are the real adrenaline rush of the hobby.
