That was the worst bunch of useless crap I've ever seen in my life!

Lowjack: you and those wannabe losers have taken away 13 minutes of my life that I will never get back. The problem is, much like a train wreck - you know you should look away (or in this case turn it off), but just can't do it. That was an absolutely horrible experience.

FOTFLMFAO!!!

I think Cougar stole the show when he took off his Gayviators!

@#$!, that was a well spent 13 minutes of my life!

I gotta do something like that one day... but my landings won't be that flat.

At least it will mean 13 less mintues for someone else in this world to spend with you. Perhaps I did them a favour?

OMG!

Freakin hilarious! glad to see a group out there with a good sense of humour. The editing is pretty well done for a bunch of amateurs.

I need to find some $$$ to finish my little flying film now!

I couldn't finish that... I only got half way through.

O.K..kids I have a suprise for you.

Even though I'm so f.ckin old I can't find my dick some days I thought that was good humour and well done considering what they had to work with..

What the f.ck we have to laugh at ourselves sometimes.

At least they can fall back on their film skills should flying not work out for them! Better than Bruckheimer?

Who would of thought that guys who have never seen a vagina could be that creative?

linecrew · Post by **linecrew** » Fri Mar 03, 2006 9:12 pm

Wow, I always thought that the American fighter pilot bravado stemmed directly from the "hot jets" they fly. Based on this it would seem that they're just born that way!

Just a little FYI so you can be in on the joke...they are not saying RENTAL but RIDDLE , a bit of a jab at their civilian training contractor in central Florida where that film was made. They're all ERAU ROTC guys with Air Force slots.

The "No one's been this close before" comment is really funny considering the sterile ADS-B environment in which Embry Riddle trains its pilots.

More from these guys can be found at:

Pretty funny. Amazing what you can do with your spare time when you're really bored.

I like how the guy doing the preflight at the beginning, yanks a couple of times on the wing strut, ... as if it, or the wing, would fall off in his hands if there were something wrong. Sheesh!

Lowjack,

That was one of the best comebacks i've ever heard. LOL

sanjet · Post by **sanjet** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 8:57 am

Got to laugh sometimes, I find it was well done. I remember my flight training days, I somehow can relate to it sometimes lol.

Hmmmm...... Cargo plane filled with rubber dog $hit outta Hong Kong? Sounds like a sweet gig, where do I sign up?

Brewguy · Post by **Brewguy** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 11:39 am

Bad acting, crap videography and half-assed post production. And not even any good flying shots to make up for it.

These people obviously have plenty of time on their hands, but unfortunately not enough skill to bother doing it right. I'm sure they had fun making it, and probably got a laugh watching it amongst themselves ...

I just can't believe any of you actually thought that was "good"!

I just thought it was good because I haven't seen your video yet. It's just a bunch of young aviator hopefuls playing around. Do you have any recollection of what it was like to be young and to have that kind of time on your hands? More power to them.

Brewguy · Post by **Brewguy** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 12:17 pm

Well, that's because I don't have the time and equipment to do one, and do it right.

As far as I'm concerned - if you only have the ability / resources to do a half-assed job, don't fo it at all. There are so many good videos (yes, even home made ones) out there, there is no reason to produce garbage.

I've found (or been forwarded links to) some really good flying videos on the web... I'll see if I can find the bookmarks for them on my other computer on Monday and I'll post some.

monkeyspankmasterflex · Sat Mar 04, 2006 12:24 pm

Honestly I thought it sucked aswell, not because of poor production, just a distinct lack of gay cowboys.

Jude · Post by **Jude** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 10:16 pm

So these guys are future air force pilots?....
Is embry riddle hard to get in? cuz these guys seem like they have a lot of time on their hands....?
but all in all its good to see some people taking the initiative to do sth like this..ha

That was absolutely HILARIOUS!
