CASA my good friend, definately CASA. If it'd had been up to the drivers they'd have flown the course.
The slow pass got them a little more advertising time and the "ballistic climb" was about the most speccy thing they could do without the EGPWS and QAR going nuts. (Well over 8,000fpm) They were actually quite limited to what they could do as while they were practising in the sim they were frequently getting EGPWS alerts being generated by the CBD and a spot height in Kings Park.
For my money it
all over the four-ship Hornet display.
Shmoke on.
