I try to catch it or record it whenever it plays on Sky

Dam, very lucky to get a way with that.

Lucky that. At those speeds water would be equivalent to a concrete wall.

Now that's flying!

I used to watch it all the time when it was on free-to-air. It's bloody good stuff.

God, I miss that shit.

I remember thinking the same thing, but I think its the sustained 9g turns that get the pooftas a little tired.

try 11g!

I have an advanced aeros rating, and after a 30 minute flight with a reasonably heavy aeros session I need a lie down....and I will only pull 5 or 6 at the most. I start losing peripheral vision out at 5g sustained, unless I'm REALLY current.
