Well done Iceland. Good Handball and well deserving of an honour.
Icelandic is a really interesting language but has anyone watched long enough to see any aeroplanes (except the two choppers at about 5 minutes in)?
I would love to see the clip if it were edited. I just couldn't be bothered wasting the bandwidth getting to the good bits.

Beautiful low pass, well-worth persevering with the clip for.
And before all the usual suspects dive in with their "he's not trained for that, it's not an aerobatic aircraft, far too risky, stick to straight and level and gentle turns like you're trained to do, way outside your terms of reference as a professional airline pilot, showing-off like that shows you are not fit for command, what if......, etc, etc", just look again at how smoothly the whole thing was done in very favourable weather conditions. I'll bet it was discussed, briefed, risk-assessed, duly permissioned, and carried-out by a more-than-able pilot who probably did that sort of thing and more in smaller aircraft in a previous life.
Just remember, Disgusted of Tunbridge-Wells, if you're thinking of leaping in, that most pilots are far more capable and experienced than their everyday working-life will ever give them the opportunity to demonstrate.
