Probably an air display special? Dive to around 360KIAS, level off and feather 3 engines. Then fly past hoping like heck that they'll unfeather after the fly past!

One of my VC10 simulator instructors had flown the deH Hornet (lucky blighter!). He told me that a Hornet pilot had once spotted a formation of Sabres well below him, so he dived on them, shut down one engine and went through their formation on one, rolling as he went..... The Sabre chaps had neither seen nor heard about the Hornet and were totally astonished!
