What are your greatest memories of air shows?

My list.

B17 at Biggin in around 1978, ridiculously low passes, like 20 feet. Not big and not clever and only the front row could see it. But Wow.

F15 at Farnborough 1974. Low fast pass followed by what looked like an even faster and accelerating vertical climb.

SU27 at Boscombe 1992. Flew all the way from a Russian airfield that a couple of years before would have been a very secret Soviet airfield. Then went straight into a spectacular aerobatic display on arrival.

I seem to remember some controversy regarding his display flying, i seem to remember he was regarded as a real risk taker.

I've an idea Don Bullock was the one who flew the B17 so low.
