Albert Ross, nice play on words - "remote" place.

412, even a chick magnet is useless if it drags itself in a dry pool.

Nope never got the Mach 2 pin, I only got to 1.6 - directly over the USAFE base at Laon France. We were vertical at the time (down ) and pulled up through sub-sonic at about 15,000 ft. I am sure the Yanks got blamed for a bunch of rattled windows- or more
FWIW, a company is making gold M2 pins for former Zipper drivers who want to dish out around $100.

ps the only ones who ever called them Widowmakers were the media.
Great a/c

Back on track.......................Helicopters have made some of the greatest situation shots, particularily with the stabilized camera mount Wescam or whomever''s. Train chases, shoot-em ups and one of the best shots on a single take of a pickup truck driving down a prairie road in Twister that starts about 2 miles away and ends up inside the cab. Also there is a great feature on Wings Discovery showing some guys shooting a destroyer steaming towards them at 30 kts and they do a low oblique pass across the bow then climb over the super structure. Neat work

"Missile with a man" would be more correct, but must say, we had at least one canadian, one german and one dutch aircraft crash close to my hometown of Bodoe, Norway

Back on track:
Under siege with Steven Seagull again, Where the "CH-46" on deck, got both rotors turning in the same direction!!
And under siege two, where Steven closed the sliding door of the 2X4, using it to chop of buddies fingers! Or jumping of the train onto the ladder, that I have sen used a lot in real life (not).
