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.
Best of show - you must be kidding. With 460 odd hp and an 8 foot prop, spending most of your time hanging off said prop is just fecking boring and merely demonstrates the pilot has money to burn on powerful aircraft and engineers to fix his engine every time he knackers it. Been watching that bloke's displays for a while now and don't think I've seen him come up with anything original yet - it's all nicked off others. The Tutor was a better display of skill - and the Extra immeasurably more entertaining. What's the betting Mr. Su-26 copies Denny's limbo act next eh.
