757 video?
Hi
A while ago somebody posted a link to a video of a NZ forces 757 doing a spectacular high-speed fly plast and steep climb at an airshow.I've used the 'search' facility but cant seem to find it. Does anybody have any ideas?
many thanks

You mean the RNZAF 757 which went balistic into the clouds after a low pass of Whenuapai air base ?

Shucks ever since the left wing government took their fighters off them, the New Zealand Air Force has taken to flying transports like fighters.
Few years ago I saw an RNZAF C-130H pull aerobatics over wellington city in tight formation with a Boeing 727-100. Now that was even more impressive.
Please ... Please ... sombody just give them a fighter to play with
Actually reflecting on the question about speed, jets achieve high speed at altitude due to lower air density. Perhaps this 757 was pumping about 400 knots as a guess. That's about the upper speed levels of WW2 fighters

If you're in the U.K. in June, go see for yourselves - I saw the validation flight at Avalon in '05 and it was a stunner
After a high speed pass they do their version of a B-1B zoom climb, which for a lightweight '57 is a terrific spectacle.
One clue is hopefully June 18th........

Yeah Runaway Gun... I kid you not.
A C-130 and 727-100 wingtip to wingtip pulling off a joint performance over Wellington in 2002 or 2003. I was rather stunned as I was not expecting it and just heard the sound in time to look up and catch the last of their display.
