A new, and interesting video courtesy of AvWeb...

"The Royal Canadian Air Force's Snowbirds air demonstration team has taken remote camera video to a new level with their "Tank Cam." The team, officially 431 Air Demonstration Squadron, has mounted a gimbaled, remote-controlled plexiglass-protected camera to the back of the small external centerline fuel tank on the team lead's aircraft."

Fabulous, thanx fort posting. I wonder what they will/can replace the Tutor with? I guess the Hawk is the obvious choice.

Wasn't someone doing a new Tutor for FSX a while back? Though the 2004 version still is not bad.
