I hadn't seen the pictures,but that's pretty amazing stuff.I'd heard of doing this sort of thing in a Super Cub in Alaska,but in formation in T-6's? Wow.Incidentally,I had a failure in an oil seal in the #2 PRT on #1 engine on Tanker 62 the other day.It looked a lot like the airshow smoke near the end of the video.Anyway,I got in my first 3 engine landing of the year.

no way. After seeing that I'm not sure I would ever get in a plane with those guys. That's just plain scary! :shock:

The old water skiing Harvard trick....!

They are the Flying Lions Aerobatic Team from South Africa and the film was made at the Klipdrift Dan near Johannesburg in South Africa in early 2006 I believe.

Their website is:

1 slight tip forward w/ the stick........ & water acrobatics, starting with a tumbling routine..... pretty ballsy, easy on the coffee intake hopefully.
