Good grief...

Hope there wasnt a cockpit video view of all that, hand held iphone... CAsA would have cancelled his licence on the spot and put him out of a job a la J Quadrio.

So it handles like an F-787. No coloured smoke or a "cobra manoeuvre" so it was toned down a bit..!!

Those that have a prob with that should stay home in bed. Dangerous world out there.!

Nobody fainted yonks ago when a Vulcan bomber took off and rolled on climb out. And the noise of 4 x Olympus on afterburner was rib busting !
But outdone by 9 EE Lightnings in stream take off and 85 degree climb..18 x on burner...was positively earthquaking. They went up and out of sight like God pulling a string of beads into heaven.
Aah ..the good old days.
