Oh c***, think I just s*** myself!!! was meant to originally be the reply.
But by God man, that's no flying, that's a really really powerful engine with an equally brilliant man & woman hangin on for dear life.
Great, really wonderful video.

If the link above doesn't work (as it didn't right now), try http://www.rapp.org/wp-content/032805-haute_voltige.wmv - is that the same video? (about 20 MB)

From: Boldly going where no split infinitive has gone before..
The Lady featured at the begining is Svetlana Kapijana, who has twice placed third in the overall standings at the World Aerobatic Championships, flying a SU-31 with a Vendelev M-14PF (450HP).
I think the other pilot is also one of the russians, which is interesting as he's flying a German built (and registered) Extra 300s.
The event is one of the FAI Grand Prix of Aerobatics, which seem to primarily be held in Asia, mainly because regulatory authorities in the west would C%$£ themselves over event like this!!!

*CORRECTION*
After much frustration, I have discovered that the file is MUCH too large for even Gmail at 19.5 mb's. Gmail limits you to 10 mb's on files.
So unless someone can host it on a server my only other option would be a file transfer via AOL Instant Messenger.
If you have AIM and still would like it, send me your screen name and I will try to send it to you. But you have to be online and able to accept the transfer.

I saw the vid when the original link worked but to my dismay forgot to move it to another folder before exitting Firefox; I've set things up to be deleted whenever I close the program.
Now I get a 'cannot play video...codec not found' message.
Any computer nerds knnow how to get around this? It is an excellent video!

Take that link that was given by LGB (http://www.rapp.org/wp-content/032805-haute_voltige.wmv ) and play it using Real player V 10 (I think it's freeware). Real player downloads the video onto your computer. (20mb) AWWWESOME video - THANX!
