=== Stunt Fridays Monthly Video Challenge ===
Stunt Friday, originally a weekly event, is a monthly event where participants compete to record videos of a given stunt, and compete to create the most interesting video and stunt.
The challenge for August involved landing an aircraft at the notoriously infamous former Kai Tak international airport in Hong Kong.
[[Alphamedia|Andrew Yokoyama ("kyokoyama")]] won this month's challenge with a crosswind landing of a BAe Concorde in a storm and heavy crosswinds.
