The Air Traffic

[vimeo 55347966 w=640 h=360]


The Air Traffic from Milton Tan on Vimeo.
Like fireflies at night, or cars drifting over invisible roads in the sky. It’s simply amazing to see what airplanes look like when flying at night when shot at long exposures!
The Air Traffic is a personal timelapse project which I shot over a period of about 6 months.
One night while shooting a timelapse of lightning going off in the sky during a storm from my living room's window (00:18), I noticed little streaks of light moving across the frame.
Living about a 10-minute drive away from the airport, the streaks of light were none other than airplanes flying to and from the airport. Then it struck me - To do a whole timelapse short film dedicated to airplanes flying at night.
Some of my favorite shots were captured when I got really close to the airport's runway where airplanes take off and land. That was where I managed to capture some pretty huge streaks of light as the airplanes got really close to ground level and ready to land.
The streaks of light are long exposures of the airplanes flying, about 8-15 seconds. Most of it was shot at Changi Beach in Singapore.

LIFT (Amelia Earhart flies again)

[vimeo 99070326 w=640 h=360]


LIFT (Amelia flies again) from INCITE Productions on Vimeo.

INCITE Productions is honored and proud to be able to partner with The Amelia Project in the telling of her story. Amelia Rose Earhart has been on a long journey that has lead her to this moment of flying around the world. We created this piece to shine a different light on Amelia. It’s so easy to get caught up in her name or her looks, but I would say these two things aren’t even the start of the story. Amelia is a fiercely driven, kind, and sweet person. She is very warm and instantly makes you feel like a friend. Our hope at INCITE is that more people can encounter Amelia and be a part of this crazy journey that she is on. We wish her all the luck in the world, however we have a feeling she won’t need any luck with her passion and determination.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles | GE Aviation Systems | Dayton Ohio

More than 100 years after the first flight of the Wright Brothers, GE Aviation in Dayton, Ohio, will help power the next-generation of aircraft: unmanned vehicle

Must Watch! Westjet 737 drifting away from the bridge due to strong winds.

WestJet 2 months ago from its YouTube account:

This is truly a rare occurrence and even more rare to catch it on video. You really were at the right place at the right time! We are very happy with how our ground crew and TechOps AME (Aircraft Maintenance Engineer) handled this situation. Our AME (in the blue vest) was at the aircraft within 10 seconds and our ramp crews (yellow/orange vests) had all ground service equipment away from the aircraft within 40 seconds, which prevented any damage to the aircraft and kept our crews and guests safe while they secured the aircraft with a tug and tow bar. This video is a great reminder of the power of Mother Nature!

Yak 3 Photoflight

Air-to-Air Photoshooting Yak-3 from Classic Aircraft Displays on Vimeo.
A small Clip about an Air-to-Air Photoshooting with Yakovlev Yak-3, operated by Classic Aircraft Displays (.com)!

Yakovlev Yak-3

The Yakovlev Yak-3 (Як-3) was a World War II Russian fighter. Robust and easy to maintain it was much liked by pilots and crew alike. It was one of the smallest and lightest mainstream combat fighters used during the war. With a high power to weight ratio it had excellent performance and was a formidable dogfighter. Marcel Albert the top scoring WW II French ace who flew the Yak 3 in the USSR with the Normandie Niemen group considered it a superior aircraft to both the P51 Mustang and the Supermarine Spitfire.

The Yak-3 represented the culmination of Alexandr Sergeevich Yakovlev's development of lightweight fighter types during the Second World War. As such, it was designed as a short range, agile interceptor to gain control of local airspace during the great Soviet offensive operations of the last two years of the war. The Yak-3 entered service in 1944 and had such an impressive rate of roll, turn and climb that German pilots were instructed not to engage these fighters below 5000 m. Overall, 4848 Yak-3s were produced.
