Mondays in the office don't get much better than when Airbus fly their Beluga XL past your office window! F-GXLO was heading into Heathrow Airport with parts for a damaged BA A350. Maybe the quality of the video may prompt my colleagues at RXGlobal to get the office windows cleaned! 😉 No sound for this as I wasn't able to hear the aircraft.

Harry Hardy CBC Interview Vertical.mp4
In December 1944, Radio Canada had a reporter at RAF Advance Landing Ground B.78 at Eindhoven airport. When 440 Squadron RCAF returned from a mission, they grabbed Flight Lieutenant Harry Hardy DFC to describe what it was like to fly a Hawker Typhoon fighter-bomber in combat.

Crazy Stunt_ Pilot Lands Plane With No Elevator.mp4
The legendary film and stunt pilot Frank Tallman performed one of the standout scenes in the adaptation of Catch-22, the poor Hungry Joe scene. But, the modifications to the L-5 Stinson meant Frank had some aviating to do afterwards!
