Final Approach Here, for the first time ever, is the unbelievable footage of
pilot and aircraft in the most trying moments of flight. Tortured, twisted,
and straining to save it, you'll see how pilot and aircraft respond in emergencies
during takeoffs and landings.Watch WWII carrier pilots twist their way over the deck, clawing for the wire, careening into the island and walking away. See the F-16 in a take-off no pilot should have survived. And witness crash testing that actually explodes in front of your very eyes. It's all here, narrated to give you a fighter pilot's understanding of the equipment and training necessary to stay alive. |  (1000K)

Whispers of Death
When there's nowhere to go but down, pilots in trouble face
the ultimate challenge. With test footage never before seen, this tape tells
the story of the development of a pilot's safety system of last resort:
the ejection seat.
With never-before-seen test and crash footage that traces the progress from flight without emergency egress systems to today's relatively reliable ejection seats, the pilots who survived tell their tales here for the first time. | (935K)
