The image is a simple gif, I don't think it is useful to make it a heavy flash video, that needs an additional plugin...
The real sign that someone has become a fanatic is that he completely loses his sense of humor about some important facet of his life. When humor goes, it means he's lost his perspective.

They usually have an Air and Sea show at the beach by me every year. One year, while a plane was doing stunts it crashed. :eek: :(

I twice attended the Frederick (Maryland) airshow. I am not really an aircraft enthusiast by any means, although I did enjoy viewing the aircraft. Yet, my memories are these:
I watched both the large & small ## cannot think of the name of that Jet-powered truck #*!! :mad: outrun from a standing start an airplane that was already in flight. I met one of Uncle Wiggly Wings' associates, & talked with him for a while. The Candy Bomber himself was too old to attend, although I believe he had attened airshows in the past. But my best time was at the WWII encampments, although I missed the re-enactments. There was a really weird little vehicle that I would describe as a cross between a motocycle & a halftrack. It was used for towing light artillerary pieces, among other things. I having been a modeler who built WWII models really liked the encampments best.

Wow, that's pretty cool. Does the front wheel offer enough power to steer it, or can the treads be operated independently for steering?

I suppose it steers mainly by braking one side of the tracks. I just cannot imagine the tiny front wheel steering by itself.
