Mr Dent, While I don't necessarily not disagree with your sentiments about currency, I could not comment about a specific display without either watching it or reading the list of intended manouevres.

A show of fast/slow, clean dirty fly-bys linked with practised wingovers would give the punters a chance to see, hear, photograph and generally marvel at a pretty aeroplane in flightwith minimal need for rehearsal. Even a station master could do it.

Clearly the perils of a birdstrike, engine failure, or even an FCU or linkage failure would give a high probability of a column of greasy smoke, especially if the runway is a bit short.
