Feel free to do any thing you like as long as the risk is to yourself only. The problem with aeroplanes is that when things go wrong people who did not choose to take a risk tend to get hurt, it dosnt bear thinking about what the results would have been had the Victor not made it safely down, i suggest you read Andy's (320psi) thread regarding why Lightnings wont fly in the uk.
I also witnessed the Victor fly and it wasnt a great sight to see, i didnt see a wonderfull aircraft returning to the sky i saw a something going very wrong and a very lucky escape for a number of people.
