Amazing F-8 Air Show Display

[crabanero]

This has always been my favorite fighter aircraft. Here is an amazing display by the French Alpha demo of Crusader F8 E(FN)P - Landivisiau NAS_1997/06/29.

That was excellent. Besides the great demo, two things stand out;
1) Digital technology has greatly increased the ability of amateur video makers to create great videos over the last two decades since this one was recorded.
2) The sounds are awesome, especially during the high speed passes.

re-Sound, yes, that struck me, there is a bit whistling like the Olympus . Very cool.

Awesome aircraft and display, thanks for sharing.

And I'll add that it is really a tribute to French Navy mechanics this aircraft could still endure such acrobatics, considering how old it was by this point of time - 33 years since 1964, and two more years to last before retirement

Good grief, how long did it took for the Rafale to get to IOC. It seems so far away ! just like the old cam recorder with the date at the bottom right of the screen. So 90's when you think about it. Reminds me of Video gag on TF1
