Not low and slow flying but still fun.This is a video of BAE Hawks (Goshawks in USA) preparing and then flying a formation of London for the Queens 60th Anniversary.For any ex-Service Pilot they will know how much preparation was required to get 27 aircraft into formation. 3 is enough!http://vimeo.com/42489364As an aside . YOu may notice instead of the Air Force spending tens of thousands per aircraft for GPS System they use the Bendix SkyMap III at $1000 a time. Off the shelf too.Hope I havent offended anyone with a off Piet topic but the weather is crass here in England!RegardsGerry________________________________________________________________________________
