Amazing the Vulcan bomber is so able to formate on such a slow mover like a Shorts Skyvan....with such ease...

Anyone who was fortunate enough to ever see a flyby display done by a VULCAN, even decades ago, still shake their heads that such a huge, ungainly looking monster could be so graceful and precise (and gawd awful LOUD!!). Saw demos @ KPAE years ago during AIRFAIR when it was the week after Abottsford and the RAF would give us a fly by demo on their way home.Loved the 'everything open including the glove box' passes with gear, and bomb bays opened as they tail walked down the show line.
I'm sure the footage is very nice, but I'm not going to log into and register with an unknown website to see it.

Agreed...as a Paine Field/Abbottsford vet from the '70's, the Vulcan was ALWAYS the highlight of the show, especially at Abbottsford. We would watch from the wing of our plane from the transient line in the north side of the show, and the Vulcan would circle over our heads at 150-200 feet as it came back to the showline. First plane I ever heard referred to as an aluminum overcast, and I understand why.

It may be a surprise to some but the vulcan to the sky project isn't universally admired in the UK

If you're concerned about the website itself, it's perfectly safe. It's the guy who amongst many other things does the Legends DVD every year.
