From now on, at a junction you have to look left, look right, look up.

amazing to watch, some of those pilots must have balls of steel to fly at those speeds so close to the ground.

Or to stand underneath the first few. I would have ducked for sure.

A few years ago coming up through north Wales somewhere I heard a lorry coming up behind me. Got louder and looked out the side. One of these big surveillance things was flying almost level with me. Loud and very scary.

What if the pilots are female?

 

[Drago]

They'd have balls of pink steel.

A few years ago, a soldier was killed on one of these stunts. The aircraft took his head off.

 

[Drago]

Should've given up while he was a head.

Then they would have female balls of steel, just a figure of speech.

A figure of speech or rhetorical figure is figurative language in the form of a single word or phrase. It can be a special repetition, arrangement or omission of words with literal meaning, or a phrase with a specialized meaning not based on the literal meaning of the words.

Love the first F18 one.
Slow pass while a very fast one come by, taking all the tents etc out LOL

If you think those were scary, try it 'in stereo' ...!

 

[Profpointy]

Mmm, no one read Catch-22? (or seen the film) - doesn't always go so well

I worked with Harriers for 4 years in Germany and these type of passes were regular occurances. But alway fun to watch.

Some countries appear to have dispensed with navigation instruments in their jet fighters, so they are having to follow motorways and read the blue signs !

One favourite phrase the bosses used to trot out in the police was "Rules are for the obedience of fools, and the guidance of wise men." That the man who coined this phrase lost his legs because he was ignoring the rules banning aerobatic antics was utterly lost on them.
