US Airman Makes Wedding Message For His Brother While Flying His Harrier Jet Over Afghanistan

Apr 092013

Brandon Krivohlavy has a very special brother who is currently serving as an airman in the US Air Force. Sadly, he was deployed during Brandon’s wedding.

At least he was able to leave a video message to be played at the wedding. After wishing Brandon and Mandy the best from the cockpit of his Harrier jet, he then dropped his shades and pulled off a sweet spin, Top Gun style.

“Needless to say, it brought everyone [at the wedding] to tears.”

Sky Diving With An Umbrella Like Mary Poppins

Feb 282013

Professional extreme athlete Erik Roner teamed up with Go Pro Camera for a very creative, and dangerous, science experiment. Since the movie Mary Poppins, kids, and secretly adults, have been dreaming of floating down from the skies with an umbrella.

Well Roner finally did. He jumped out of a plane with just a very big umbrella over him to slow down his fall. It worked for a while, but then the cloth gave, and Roner had to use his backup parachute which he was obviously prepared for. All the action was of course caught on GoPro cameras.

When finally back on the ground, he closed with, “You’re welcome science. NASA is gonna be able to use that one for years to come.”

Passenger Of Small Airplane Captures Crash Landing In Field On Cellphone Camera

Feb 142013

Jonathan Fielding took a birthday flight with his wife, which was coincidentally her first time flying, his mother in-law, and his baby son on a small propeller plane over beautiful Utah.

Terrifyingly, they were informed by the pilot that the carburetor had iced over, and the propeller was out of commission. They would have to crash land.

Being that this is 2013, Jonathon, of course, whipped out his cellphone camera to capture the drama. Even though the pilot was experienced with powerless landings in the field, the snow caused the plane to flip on landing.

Thankfully, they all survived save for a few scratches and bruises, and now the cellphone footage has gone viralviral, amassing over a quarter million views in just a week.
