Stampe,

The Skyhawks team got me 'into' Pink Floyd when I was a teenager! It was 'Shine on, you Crazy Diamond' by the way, not 'Wish you were Here'.

Anyone remember the German 'Vikings' F104 team? Saw them display at Prestwick years ago, doing transonic opposition passes at 600KTS+. Nuts.

The old Dutch Air Force 'aerobatic' F27 display?

Also have memories of Ray and Mark Hanna tailchasing each other in Spit and 109 on the deck before disappearing behind the nearest ridge.. .Saw Mark break into the circuit one day in a Yak- inverted, pushed to the 45 degree up line then a Canadian break. Brilliant.
