Another technician in the foreground takes down notes. The aircraft on scales.
A U.S. Air force F-100 Super sabre jet aircraft rounds out high in nose-high attitude, during attempted emergency landing at Edwards Air Force Base, California. The pilot applies power to go around without success as the F-100 enters a state known as a "Sabre Dance". The aircraft's right wing strikes the runway and it crashes on the runway in a ball of fire. (Note: This F-100 was being ferried from Palmdale, California, when it encountered problems, and the pilot elected to make an emegency landing at Edwards AFB)
U.S. Air Force, North American X-10, experimental aircraft being towed by a tug, at Edwards Air Force Base, California, United States. Tow tug moves the aircraft in a circle, allowing views from all sides. Of particular note is lack of a cockpit (the aircraft is unmanned), and the presence of a canard at the nose of the aircraft. View of aircraft on takeoff roll, in nose high attitude, raising a dust cloud, as it accelerates. View of X-10, cruising aloft, with canard and landing gear retracted. The minimal delta wing is visible from below. The aircraft, in nose high attitude, with landing gear extended, in flight and then cleaned up and cruising, again.
A United States Air Force Lockheed U-2C at Edwards Air Force Base in California, United States. The U-2C aircraft being refueled at the air base. A van pull up. A pilot gets off and climbs up a ladder. He gets into the cockpit of the aircraft. The aircraft taxis along the air base and takes off.
