------------------------------Lockheed Martin F-16C Demo (Le Bourget '07)
This video is about the F-16C demonstration carried out by one of the Lockheed Martin's test pilots during the Paris Airshow 2007 (Le Bourget 2007), the footage was taken a bit far, but I think it worth watching. Due to the air space restrictions, the demos must be flown in a very limited zone, as a result this is one of the best F-16 demos I have ever seen (and I have seen a few). This is a highly dynamic performance, full of aileron rolls and high G turns. Some highlights are the climb right after taking off and the low speed aileron roll to the low speed high angle of attack fly by.

Like them alot :) I'm a bit partial to the Typhoon display. I've seen it a few times and it's performance is outstanding.

Hey Casper, did you go to RIAT last year? Saturday's demo from the Spanish Typhoon was probably the best solo display of the show...however, on Sunday the RAF flat demo (the weather was cloudy) was the best!
You are right, generaly speaking, the RAF typhoon display team is great! but I love the swiss F/A-18 too, during his show, they made some awesome "superhornet" style moves!

Unfortunately I didn't. I haven't been to a show in England for many years - hoping to get to Farnborough this year though :)
-
Do you prefer Farnborough to RIAT?
As you know, this year Farnborough is just after RIAT, so I will try to go to both ;D
Let's see if I manage to safe enough money ;)
