Sikorsky HH-60G Pave Hawk (S-70A) - USAF - USA, Florida, Cocoa Beach - November 6, 2011
90-26230 (cn 70-1597) During the 920th Rescue Wing role demonstration at the 2011 edition of the Cocoa Beach airshow, this 308th Rescue Squadron HH-60 makes an attempt to show the public the various ways of extracting PJs from the water. Due to the high swells, rip currents and heave downdraft from the rotors, a wave breaks early, resulting in a wall of water engulfing the helicopter. The PJ never made it into the helicopter as the ‘rescue’ was called off.

Ilyushin Il-78M - Russia Air Force - Russia, Bolshoye Savino - June 8, 2012
31 blue (cn 1003402040) Each meter of this 3200m.-long runway was important for this fully loaded IL-78. Getting all possible power from the D-30 engines the plane hardly takes off in order to spend several hours in the air while the fighters and frontline bombers will have training refuelings with this tanker. And whether is it necessary to add that it was loud as hell...
