    Excellent shots Daniel, thanks for sharing. 🙂

    We could do with some sunny weather here in the UK.

    Thought I would highlight Jon Melby’s factory built Pitts S-1-11B as it’s one of only two that are flying in the World today (seen being displayed by Jon in the first video link in the post above).

    Excellent shots, thanks for sharing the links Alan. 🙂

    Very impressive Saab Jet Formation. I will add the show to my ‘to do’ list.

    Totally agree about the ads. The first video ft Svetlana Kapanina & Peter Besenyei, when I first played it (and the 2nd and 3rd time) before I posted it played a long advert each time. Then I looked at another upload of the same video but it had an advert too. Then the next time it went straight into the video so I posted it anyway, but it is a pain.

    I love the footage from inside the cockpit as it’s as close to experiencing what it’s like (unless you are pilot or passenger). Nothing beats experiencing it for real but this gives a good example.

    Many more video clips of aerobatics and I will post some of the best I find and highlight some of the Worlds best pilots.

    Looking forward to hopefully seeing some footage from your flights too Moggy 😀

    it’s easy to forget just how large Lindy’s wings are, but watching the video just shows the contrast in size when someone is standing on the wing. 😮

    Such a beautiful aircraft in my opinion. 😀

    Thanks for the update and date of the next engine run Rich. With the snow and cold weather it’s understandable that you wasn’t able to do an engine run in January. Hopefully the weather won’t cause any more problems.

    It is worth while as many organisations etc on fb that give updates and interact with people which is different to those that may just have a website which is updated once in a blue moon and not often interactive with people unless they have a blog.

    Some have both website and fb page but update the fb page more often than the website. The only difficulty is now unless you have an fb account you can’t view someone’s fb page even when the page is set to ‘public’. But if the fb page you are trying to view is a ‘like’ page instead of a personal fb page then you don’t have to have a fb page yourself or be logged into fb to view it. But a personal fb page gives the person who runs it more power with how it runs and who can see the page and post on it and more options of what the person can do with it.

    If that makes sense. 😮

    Great shots, perfect framing. Another moment in history recorded visually and stored for us to see. Thanks for sharing Martin. 🙂
