<div class="IPBDescription">Check it</div> Check out this dude at an airshow.

Listen for the public speaker pausing, then carries on as if nothing happened. Thats professionalism!!!

.rm is Real Player right?

No thanks.

Klite codec pack (just about all codecs)

Real Alternative: No need for Real Player

Quicktime Alternative: No need for quick time

Media Player Clasic: Nice little media player.

I installed that pack a while ago, before my last reformat, and none- absolutely NONE of the codecs ever worked. I tried to use its Quicktime Lite, and it wouldn't open them, it didn't even know QTL existed...

Thansal

did you install the rm alt and the QT alt? Klite dosn't do RM or QT.


oh, and the vid is sorta nifty.

Monkfish

Holy crap that was close!!

DY357LX

Use RealAlt; it works fine.

That was almost a waste of a perfectly good Yak-9. Good thing he made it, but he may have to redo the interior of the cockpit.

Thanks for the Real Alt, otherwise I am totally pseechless, geesh!

Amazing pilot obviously.

DarkDude

Wow, just wow. Surprised I didn't see some sparks. I'd say a combination of luck and skill. He had to have known what he was doing when he attempted the stunt, but there's no way in hell he was planning on getting <i>that</i> close.
