KillaThrill Generates Huge Buzzkill With Viral Airplane Crash Video

(Why is the "pilot" on the wrong side of the security barrier?)

Well, the guys at KillaThrill are actually trying to keep the subterfuge going with a new website that shows their "pilot" in an interview right after his so-called flight. James Andersson is supposedly a pilot in the Red Bull Air Race, but if you notice the photos, you never actually see the Red Bull logo. Of course, a quick check with Red Bull themselves will show you he doesn't exist. Here's their roster in case you're curious:

Here's the video that's been circulating widely on the internet as fact, when in fact it is a complete fiction. At first blush, the aircraft looks real and the wing separation seems authentic. If you listen closely, you'll hear that the engine sounds are not properly synchronized, the radio chatter seems out of place and the people are definitely over-acting. But for its intended purpose, KillaThrill got a great viral advertising campaign. Congratulations! Here's another video done in a very similar fashion:



And this video seals the deal:

Video: Crop Duster Low Fly By

Crop dusting aircraft are a whole different breed of airplanes designed to withstand the vagaries of nap-of-the-earth flying, obstacles, chemicals and a whole host of other things most pilots never hope to encounter. This is just a teaser video that I made for PilotMag, so keep your eyes out for the November/December issue of the magazine for some amazing shots. Stay tuned for a longer, video with some really cool air-to-air and ground-to-air shots. Visit Scott Aviation to learn more about Kyle Scott's aviation services, including his FBO at the Ft. Morgan Municipal Airport.

Video: Flying the PilotMag Gobosh LSA | Airplane Sweepstakes

If you've ever dreamed of flying but thought it was out of reach, stop dreaming and start flying. If you wear coke bottle glasses and have a driver's license, chances are you meet the health requirements to fly this light sport airplane. After watching the video, ponder this: It only takes 20-30 hours of flight training to get certified in this airplane and then you can take a friend with you. You can enter for a chance to win a red Gobosh just like this one in the PilotMag sweepstakes drawing next year. If you're in the Denver area, visit Skyraider Aviation to rent and fly this airplane.

Be sure to watch the video in high quality.

Air-To-Air: Gobosh 700 Light Sport Airplane

Christopher Dillis, owner of Skyraider Aviation, stands with his beautiful new Gobosh 700 light sport airplane at the Erie Municipal Airport north of Denver, Colorado. The airplane is available for rental and flight instruction, but I wouldn't suggest flying it; you'll get addicted. I took my HD video camera along for the air-to-air and flight, so hit play to see what it was like.
