Just had the great pleasure of watching a Lynx at around 3.30pm doing a display at Rochester Airport, I think for the benefit of BAE systems staff.

First time I have seen in the flesh Barrel Roll's and Loops, a great sight a friend took some pics with a telephoto so will endeavour to post a couple when he mails them through.

Does anyone know who the pilot is and I assume its a militrary craft ?

Are you sure it wasn't a radio controlled model?
Surely real helicopters can't do loops without the tails being chopped off!
:E

This looks very real,

Keith Bryan!!! He is surely relaxing and enjoying a quiet Pims on his estate these days. None of that crazy upside down stuff....or am I mistaken?
