This video is pretty awesome! trees have grown up a lot since!

Startup of J-1799 is interesting.

EPIC.

I love the start cartouche. :D Wakes up Childhood memories of Hunters and Venoms mass starts on Airbase Dubendorf in Switzerland where I used to watch every free Minute.

Nice - Ice!

Wow! very cool!

Estas voltas nas cabeçeiras da pista é para abrir trilha na neve para fazer uma decolagem mais segura?

my dad was an RAF Squadron leader flying them out of Thornhill AFB Zimbabwe... i first memories were of them at Valley AFB Wales

The engine start is fantastic. I'd love to have a car that started like that!!!

Thank you.

I remember being at the Middlebury State Airport in 1969 and watching an incredible airshow put on by Harold Krier. Flying the Super Chipmunk I believe and watching some just incredible flying. Anybody remember that?

Saddening and good at the same time! Too bad that the planes are not in Switzerland anymore. They are history. But good to know that they ( at least back then ) still are flying

DH Vampire and Venom take my prize as the prettiest jet fighters ever built and used.

J-1763 (as seen in the video) was lost in an accident in 1990. (www.warbirdregistry.org/jetregistry/venomregistry/venom-j1763.html) N202DM (aka J-1616) seems to be the one in Sydney, NY (See it via the aerials in Google Maps at N23, or www.warbirdregistry.org/jetregistry/venomregistry/venom-j1616.html)

One of these planes was lying in a garden as an ornamental piece in Gauteng south Africa. I even climbed around in it much to the amusement of the owner who said he claimed it from someone to offset some outstanding money owed to him..I have pics of it somewhere..

I remember that. I believe his name was Dean Martin. Saw the B-25 several times.

So much ice on the runway, such a short runway unbeliviable greetings Ed

The Orange Black one sits in sydney. www.google.de/maps/place/Sidney,+NY/@42.3034744,-75.4161834,114m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x89db98c539e71775:0xb9cd66debf8b8254

I dig that starter!!!

Is any way you can change the shape of the waves ?

Amazing - it looks like it would never fly with its fat stubby stabilizers and bulky fuselage. I love the "prime it and torch it" turbine starter.

Holy kerosene exhaust, it sounds just like the 1966 bat mobile firing up!

I think there's still 2 at 6B0. One outside and one inside. The one inside is for sale. I think it comes with a spare engine.

I saw it and another one or maybe even two sitting at Sidney airport in NY. It was rotting on the ramp outdoors.

what a nice plane

omg, awesome! Love it!

John, This boat is available if you are interested. Contact smoothwatersports (dot) com

Phillip, this is a 23 LSV, which is much different than you 20 MXZ. I would recommend using the four hard tanks in your 20 MXZ, and add the 550 lb plug 'n play bags in the rear lockers. If you want to go all out you may be able to add up to but not more than 750 in the bow. If you add bow weight you can run the 550's close to full, but if you don't add bow weight than you should only run the plug 'n play bags up to half or less. At 10.4-10.6 mph the 20 MXZ will make an awesome surf wave.

U still have this LSV? You want to sell?

why have ratings been disabled? By the way, I liked it.

JJ, the engine is spun up by a small geared starter that is powered by a start cartridge. The start cartridge is what causes the smoke.

Can anyone explain to me why there's a fast pressure of smoke like a train. Before it starts ?

We use a Gopro camera on a pole. Works well as you can see.

What were you using to get these camera angles and shots?

Thanks Rockydog. I didn't realize it was Sidney. I can picture the guy (and his daughter) I think purchased it, but I thought he was out near Genesseo.

Rockydog - which one, 202DM or the black/orange one? (Still DM, but don't recall the number)

what a fantastic idea

I worked on the Venom in 1955/56 in Stetton[R.N.A.S] then with 894 squadron at Yeovilton and far east on Albion[1960]. Jumper ex air mechanic and C.P.O.

There's more than one. There's a beautiful red one there as well, secured in it's own hangar.

lol nice 2 see this ..i know them from seeing it in air over 20 years ago ...i grow up at Airbase Dübendorf ;) Swiss.... Venom ..vampire ..hawker Hunter, Mirage 3 RS n alaot more ..now we got FA 18 C ;) lol and still use F5 Tiger... :D

Thats a Coffman type cartrage starter used on piston engines, this is a large black powder or cordite type cartrage of much larger size than a shotgun shell. Made to burn for a length of time VS a blast of a coffman

The ol' man can surf!

I believe all three men were on the Inland Surfer Sweet Spot Pro.

very cool camera work

yup i have a 2012 response Txi one of my most favorite boats, my Dad has been a Slalom Skier for 25+ years, he is in his 40s now so he is starting to lose his touch but still passes 34 off decently, but he used to be way better and compete, but tht was 15 years ago, anyways The Response Txi is an Awesome Boat we love the boat and hope you love yours!!!

You have a 2012 Response TXi? Very cool, it's a phenomenal boat.

have the same boat and love it, my dad is the slalom skier, and barefooter, i wakeboard

my dad barefoots behind our new 2012 txi its wake is so smooth from 34 and up, and at 38-40 mph barefooting it is so small we love it, and with the power wedge option it allwos us to have a huge wakeboarding wake when at a flick of a button it goes up and has no wake for slolam sking

Have you barefooted long line behind the TXi? Hows the wake?

When I was a kid those and the Vampires were all they had. Later the air force bought Hawker Hunters
