Wow. Really nice clips, too...especially the sound! Lovely!!

You need a private runway in the middle of nowhere to get good fly-by audio without lame announcers, cellphone conversations, or screaming kids...   >:(   ::)

Nice to see that a Seafire is still going strong! I love the flypast at 2:10!

Thanks! ;)
