Great video! Superb pilot too - not sure I would put a nearly 60-year-old bird through that much stress, but he must know what he’s doing..

Very enjoyable. Thanks. Must have been some crosswind on the runway, both the DeHavilland and the DC-3 were crabbing to keep centered on the runway as they made their passes. The 747 was majestic! How exciting to see that big mutha roll left and rotate to climb out and make its departure. Like watching the C-5As do touch-and-goes at Dover AFB.

I love me some Goonie Bird. The wife just saw the video about starting one and wanted to know why I was so stupid to ever get in one. Those were the days, my friends.

One of the old Rhodesian Vamps that made it to Australia is getting rebuilt as well, and might get back up in the air again. Lovely birds.

RhAF Vamp 1835

There were pilots who soloed in those things after only 6-10 hours in T-6 Harvards. Amazing.

Nice clip of RhAF Vamp at work, circa 1979, at about 10 seconds into the clip

RhAF Vamps in formation open the show!
