Yes, that was one of the airshows I saw this year. I think they were called the Sharks. IIRC at one point they had a Lynx barrel rolling (with a portion of inverted) around a line of other aircraft. They also did loops and other crazy stuff that helicopters clearly can now do. Very cool. Were it not for the ridiculous costs, I would've much rather learned to fly rotary wing than fixed. As one of my work mates puts it: 'Yeah, even when the engine stops they still fly, cos they're still ugly and the earth still repels them!' All the best, Matt. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
