Pyrotechnic air displays

Apologies for it being a FB link

The following is a good friend of mine, he has been building up this business for a few years now...

If you have attended any air shows in the past couple of years you may well have seen his display.

When he first started practicing we always had a laugh down the pub with the comments posted all over FB from people asking where the aeroplane that was on fire crashed,, or did anyone see the UFO!

He even made the nationals...

Well, I applaud that. Absolutely spectacular, but it looks bloody dangerous. At night, with fireworks strapped to your wingtips? I had to laugh when he said, first we get up to a safe height, like 1,000 feet!

The issue with it must be knowing where the other aircraft is, and where the ground is! I do want to see the display as I think it would look good, but of course its quite short.

They have just flown out to New Zealand (planes went in a container back in November) to perform 3 displays, the display organisers have covered all associated costs
