Better get them well-primed...as I was walking back to the car park the 
night I 
took the BOBMF pictures a Spit with a Mustang wingman gave an acrobatic 
display 
and then beat up the car park (really, at about fifty feet). I heard them 
coming 
swung round, got the Leica to my eye but couldn't focus in time :-(.

An amazing and, if you weren't on their side, potentially terrifying moment.

So Seattle LUGers start getting yourselves ready - and Ted, buzz them!

...then there was the moment at the first Goodwood Revival when Mark Hannah 
flew 
a Spit down the start/finish straight at about fifteen (yes 15) feet towards 
and 
over the heads of the official party.
