Fantastic aviating
 
Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but can't think where else it might go. If you think it's wrong, mods, I'm sure you'll move it:)

Anyway, I was blown away by this quite extraordinary feat of flying, in all senses of the word.

Amazing:eek:

We're all "ooohing" and "aaahing" watching this in our Ops room!

Thanks for posting.

Brilliant.
Reminded me of Tony Hancock's sketch "The Test Pilot" with Wing Commander Hancock flying his jet, when Kenneth Williams knocks on the cockpit canopy and asks,
"Can I come in? It's freezing out here."

At least he had a parachute!!!!.
At Oshkosh, Wisconsin, about 4 years ago, I saw [and videoed] a Schweizer helicopter land [!] on the wing of a Stearman in flight. Guy climbs out of front cockpit of Stearman into the helicopter and flies off!!! No parachute, safety wires, nothing!!!! CRAZY!!
