This man posts excellent videos and never puts photomontages in his previews: he doesn't need it. <strong>Today he published this video of a CF-188A Hornet fighter<\/strong> (the official designation of the F\/A-18A) of the Royal Canadian Air Force <strong>at the British air festival The Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT)<\/strong> held at RAF Fairford.

Aerobatic pilots are still prodigious crazy people who cause admiration, so my respects go to this Canadian pilot, who has left many of us stunned.<\/p>\n<p>P.S.: Of course, I have decided not to put the video preview as a preview of this entry.
