Spot on, FL!!
My favourite ever VRIAB was early one cold winter morning at Brawdy. Over 480 KIAS at initial, at rather lower height than one should. Throttle very carefully back to idle and a wonderful "HOOOOOOOOO...." 'blue note' over the top of the groundschool where the junior course were studying. A mate on that course said that the lecturer stopped dead in his tracks as I went overhead....
Then there was night flying on the 'Dog at Abingdon in the early 1990s. As fast as the little $od would go at 100 ft over the boss' office, then a split ar$e break to land - the touchdown area could easily be seen in the moonlight. Unfortunately He hadn't gone flying (as I thought he had), so night VRIABs were subsequently banned - oops!
