Have to agree...F 18 was very good but the Sukhoi 26 was easily the best of show. Amazing flying, especially the "really hard" manouvre which had a running commentary over the PA system which had been linked to the pilots radio.

How on earth he managed up to 10 G without a G suit and spoke to the crowd, I don't know.

With regard to dress, Isn't that normal for airshows nowadays? Its a condition of the Royal Air Force that a flying suit is also a set of coveralls as well as a drinking tracksuit...in fact im sure that the majority of RAF issued flying suits spend on average 99% of their time firmly placed on the ground!
