LANDING IN NEW ZEALAND
Known as the land of the long white cloud, if you fly into New Zealand you could well encounter this scenario. Hold on to your seat. This is spectacular. I often have wondered why the airline industry doesn’t have a live video feed from the aircraft’s nose streamed into the cabin in order to amuse and bedazzle their weary travelers. This is the descent into Queenstown, New Zealand . Notice the mountain range he is flying toward.
It must take great faith in your instruments to pilot an approach like this but the rush must be amazing.

Rare SR-71 Blackbird Photos

Sled Driver Brian Shul shares with us his story of being one of only 93 pilots to ever fly the SR-71 Blackbird. Brian also has a love of photography and owns one of the best collections of photos of the SR-71 ever. His story is both entertaining and inspirational as he shares some amazing facts about the SR-71 Blackbird that any aviation fan or history buff will enjoy.

A Special Note:

I have never shared a video this long with my subscribers but Brian’s talk is one that I hope you’ll take the time to listen to. I know many of you probably won’t but those that do watch this video will hopefully be as enthralled as I was.
