Worked fine for me too.  Plus, it is better quality than the video "6" I posted.  But it lacks originality.  All the pilot did is tilt the wings from one side to another.  Plus, no cool music.

Just my 5 cents worth.

Unfortunately I can't provide video of my encounter, because it happened so fast.  But your thread reminded me of it, so I thought I'd share the experience.

We were on holiday in Scotland in 2007.  We took a Highland tour for part of our stay.  We were sitting having lunch at Glen Coe, which is where Clan Campbell murdered a bunch of Clan Macdonald in 1692.

Any way while we were sitting there admiring the view, 2 Fighter jets(not sure what they were) came flying on their side down the Glen(valley). Truly amazing seeing these aircraft at about eye level for a mere few seconds in such a setting.

IF we are going to share personal experiences....

My oldest son and I were at an air-show about 3 years ago in Saskatoon.  The air-show was Friday evening, through until Sunday afternoon.  We went on the Saturday.  The day we choose it went to 34C that day.  Way too hot for us Cancucks up here.

We were sitting in the stands and watching the show going on before us.  When the announcer says that there will be a surprise visitor coming in the air.  You USA guys... what is the name of that black jet that is shaped like a triangle... shealth thing..?

Well, he came by at only about a 300 feet off the ground.  Showed his bottom side at an angle, then returned, showing his topside at an angle.  He came from somewhere in the States.  Re-fueled in the air.  Came here and did a fly-by... and flew back.  He didn't land until he was back where he came from.  THAT was cool.  My USA buddies know how to make jets.

Nascar fans, you may know that I live kind of close to Lowe's Motor Speedway (about a 30 minuet drive)

You also know that at the start of each race there is usually a fly by during the nation anthem.

Last year at the start of Coca-Cola 600, I happened to be outside my house when I saw the B52 fly over my house on it's way to the race. It was low enough that I could make out the rivets!
