Another French WWI once flew through the Arc de Triomphe in a Nieuport 11 which was considerably more difficult:

With a P-51 shooting at your Ass it would be just a tad more difficult don't you think?

In Microsoft Flight Sim, maybe not.

Actually it is quite hard in Microsoft Combat WW2 Flight Sim - took me quite a few attempts before I managed it in a Typhoon (WW2 version)..

Was also done in a Mosquito, late 1944. R. Fullerton 409 squadron. He was my first Squadron Commander after I finished training in the RCAF, (a long time ago ).
