Wow.

Seems like some kind of flutter.

Serious flutter for sure!

When was that video taken...? Any damage to the wing on inspection after landing..?

Scary stuff..!

I've never been a fan of the API installation, The numbers don't seem to ever stack up, and with a low sun you can see the shockwave quite vividly above about 0.76M Theres also an additional inspection to foot the bill for - I suppose this demonstrates rather graphically why!

This looks f'ing frightening, good job it's a tough old bird!
