That was brilliant, one of the most innovative air displays I've seen in years.

Can you do that sort of thing in the UK? Or would the CAA just laugh at you?

I've not seen it done with lasers, and not in complete darkness either, but Bournemouth Air Festival has "Night Air"...

They had a vintage day at the cricket club just up the road from us, Yorkshire Air Ambulance landed so you could have a nose around. THEN! a Lancaster did a few circles, sounded awesome... video is from the back of my house. It was a while ago but just remember this forum had a place for this sort of thing.

Hope you guys enjoy!

Fantastic ! Spent an hour in the City of Lincoln when I was about 15 and that brings back memories. Not flying unfortunately !

It was very original in 1983 - when I first saw Charly Zimmerman carry out such manoeuvers in the Bolkow Bo105.

Wow, it can all go wrong so easy, even with best intentions

The Canberra/B-57 was notoriously difficult to handle if one engine failed.

The interesting thing is that the pilot in the clip seemed to handle it OK up until the landing but then tried to go around.

Is it true more crew were killed practicing single engine landings than there were genuine engine failures?
