One for the aircraft enthusiasts.
 
I've been to hundreds of airshows over the years but one display at Fairford in 2006 by the MIG 29 OVT stands out from rest for me.I have never seen maneuveres like it before or since :eek: What skill from the pilot :bowdown:

Always worth watching the Russians, especially their test pilots........ but we'll say nothing about 1993.

Not bad, but I bet he can’t put a fruit pastille in his mouth without chewing it.

SU 27 at Farnborough 1998 did better than that with full vertical stalls and backslide recovery, nevertheless impressive.

Farnborough 1951, Polish Test pilot Jan Zurakowski peformed a "Vertical Cartwheel" with the prototype Meteor, also very impressive to watch.

I've always fancied being in the back of a Chinook during a display, tethered of course.
