    Unfort the DVD’s or videos want do it quite justice.

    I tell you, I was absolutely astounded by the speed of the La-9.
    I thought it was a jet coming in when it did it’s high speed low level pass.
    And sound !!!! Almost as beautiful as a merlin !!!

    So true, Mike:)

    Seeing those Poli’s come screaming in to land with no flaps at over 100 knots and watching them brake with tail up and up elevator is scary to say the least!!!!!

    I will post some more pics of the airshow tonight.

    Cheers

    lol !!!

    Still,…just to be in that position of who takes the Spit up first would be neat enough, wouldn’t you agree ??

    hmmm.,…wouldn’t the wing of a Hurricane be too thick and get compressibility problems ?
    Not to mention fabric coming apart ??
