Sukhoi Su 31 crazy pilot.

Sweary reporter and a low pass from a spitfire.

The SU-31 crazy pilot link goes to a video of someone flying what looks like a Yak under a bridge,
So in the meantime here's a crazy pilot doing loony things with an SU-35:

And a pair of Yaks:

Spotted last year over RAF Linton on Ouse, practicing for the airshow season I think, was up for about 15 mins.

Not quite the same thing but I 'flew' the Lightning simulator at Tangmere last weekend.

Probably the closest I will ever get!

Neighbour in the village has a Hurricane he flies out of his little grass strip in his field. I'll snap a couple of it. Its for sale if any if you fancy a proper toy.

Just found this on Zite: http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/the-touch-roll-touch-was-one-of-the-craziest-maneuvers-1694004513
Belgian display pilot managed to do a fast touch-and-go, followed by a fast roll on climb-out, followed immediately by a touch-down, on the same landing approach on the same runway.
Much attempted by others, usually fatally, manoeuvre was banned after a while.
Qu'ell surprise!

Fate is the hunter is one of the best books I've ever read. A must for any aspiring pilot too.

That particular Sea King is particularly noisy and leaks like a sieve.
Fortunately it's not like it's based in a particularly wet park of the UK...oh wait a second.....

Not great photos, they've just come to light, and I had to copy them from the prints by putting a sheet of glass over the prints to shot them with my phone! My scanner/printer has died, and I've not got access to another.
These were taken at RAF Wroughton, back when they still had displays up there.

Vulcan, (obviously), Grumman Tigercat, Consolidated PBY-5 Catalina.
The Tigercat was flying with a Wildcat and a Corsair, I've got photos, but they're not that great.

Spitfire, 747 and Catalina - the most beautiful aircraft for me.

Here's a video of a Catalina landing on Lake Geneva:
