ElwynR, does some great vids on Youtube,hope to get up there in a couple of months. Shame we won't see the Tonkas anymore, and some nice waves from the Canadian demo team, who I saw at the International Air Tattoo in the summer last year. Thanks for the upload.

Nice, it reminds me of my AirForce days Flying B-52s low level 400ft at 400mph. One of our Low Level routes went from the Mexican USA border all the way north to the Artic Ocean.

I bet that used a lot of fuel.

This may be fun to watch but unfortunately it is very hard on the people and livestock below, who are forced to listen to the ear-splitting noise. The sound causes damage to ancient buildings and stops conversations when the planes go over a Market Day that has been held for centuries. It can also be startling to people who don't hear the planes coming above the speed of sound and then suddenly they are right on top of you. So there is a huge downside to this which is glossed over.

Whiner aside, nice vid! Awesome aircraft. Enjoy watching practice sessions. Even though they can be annoying at times, I prefer the flyboys/girls be properly prepared for any situation. Practice makes perfect. Having a lifelong addiction to military aircraft does make me a bit bias. Dad was USAF so was around that stuff a lot. Nothing like seeing an SR-71 come in low then go vertical on full afterburner!

Nothing like it to really focus your attention on your flying because you can punch those little hills all day long with your little aircraft and not move them one inch. Well actually, you can punch them once but that's all.
