Great moments in improvised landings.

In this video, made 11/15/15, is the jet that I will be taking my SIC (second in command) training so I'll have something to fall back on and/or part time job while doing my engineering gig. Here is Brian (right seat) taking the test flight which he was kind enough to let me ride along so I'd know what to expect when I do mine here shortly (whenever I get up the $3500 for the training and also my medical back from the FAA).
anyway, this is a short field/maximum takeoff performance demonstration from T41 (Pearland Regional) that really was so. Full fuel (285 gals jet-a each wing and 4 people on board) followed by an approach and landing in Galveston (KGLS) can't wait to take the test myself!

I guess some of you have heard about that brand spankin' new AC-130J "Ghostrider" that went inverted while out of control, and sustained too many G's, and was subsequently retired from service.
Here is a story about damn near the very same thing (different cause), only this one lived to fly again. Very interesting read.

Nighttime carrier takeoff of a V-22 Osprey, shows the transition of the rotors from vertical to horizontal flight.

Kinda Christamas-y.
I wonder how the rotor tips are lit/lighted? Suppose it's the running lights shining on them? Nevermind, both rotor's tips are green, running lights are red & green.

I was thinking the green light/reflector may be only on one blade tip per side to make the slinky that clear.

They have lights in the rotor tips to prevent rotor strikes when landing troops at night. They are NVG compatible for night formation flying and can be seen from above and below. Top and bottom light intensity is controllable by the crew.

That looks like a helicopter blade.

Not for a V-22.

Vertical is vertical, is it not?

Yes it is, and horizontal is horizontal. However the V-22 is both, or neither, or something else, but uses a different type of blade.
