Whipped Cream Difficulties

I’m going back to military aviation today, even though I sort of covered that yesterday. It is shaping up to be a busy weekend, and I’m queuing Saturday and Sunday up in advance.

Today’s video: “The Second Seat”, a Naval recruiting film.

The Naval Aviation Officer who sits in the “second seat” runs all the complicated systems that the pilot cannot handle alone, including serving as navigator and bombardier.

Edited to add 10/4: fixed the embedding on this one. Sorry about that: I don’t know what happened, and I wasn’t able to fix this yesterday.

Bonus video, a little on the long side, but it is Saturday, and I know at least one person will enjoy this: Brian Shul, author of “Sled Driver: Flying the World’s Fastest Jet”, speaks at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in 2016.
