This is a very demanding track because of the winds which regularly change direction between the training, qualifications and the race.

... And seeing that "Flying Bulls" Lockheed P-38 Lightning in a hedgehop just a 50m above us was really fascinating Smile

There was a similar disqualification at the race a week before in Japan - exceeding 10G in the final pylons. I wonder how that feels ?

Yeah, warbirds on the deck certainly do raise one's blood pressure. I believe the FB Lightning is a polished aluminum finish, right? I've never seen this warbird live (it is in Europe - I'm not). I was lucky enough to attend "The Final Gathering" in 2007, where just under 100 Mustangs participated, plus just about every other type of WWII warbirds, including 3 Lightnings. Doubt I'll ever see that again.

Thanks!
