:o Wow, that sounds very cool! 8)


The biggest thing I've seen (non airshow) was last year, when 4 RDAF Chippies flew over my local church, and finished off by doing the "Lost Wingman" maneuver, to honour a RDAF Lt.Col.
He had passed away the day before Karup Airshow 2005, during practicing for the show.

Sad day, but a beautiful funeral to have. :'(

The really cool thing was that they all flew in some kind of formation ( except for the lone kdc-10)

Even the choppers were all in formation!

I saw two of the three lynxes again + the Mitchell and Spit and heard the Harvards and the beech!

I really like the sound of the harvards!
