Sunfish... "General perception from reading the program - same old, same old..."
My sentiments also. It'll be good, but as you say...

Had a buff from Guam do a flypast at a pageant at Port Hedland many eons ago, couple of circuits... one dirty and slow, one not. Then it chuffed off over to the coast out of sight over the sand dunes, then popped up lined up for rwy 18. Asked "what height...?" Tower said "Not above 100." Came down 18... biggest cloud of dust ever, then pulled up almost vertical and climbed out on 8 big pillars of smoke and tracked away for Learmonth. Spectacular!

Now THAT was a handling display.
