Need for Speed
I took the hounds to Bagnalls beach up at Port Stephens today so Hamish could have a lovely swim and get some hydrotherapy. As I was approaching Williamtown airport I nearly jumped out of my seat as one of the Lightning IIs did a vertical climb right in front of me.
We pulled over along with the throngs (see first extra) and were given a free airshow for 20 minutes. Captain Biggles (wave to him in the second extra) put on a fabulous demonstration of what the Lightning IIs can do in stall climbs, cobras, low passes, loops, etc. better than Top Gun for sure. I videoed a bit with my phone but it doesn't catch the roar of those Pratt & Witney engines when it is flying 30 ms overhead at sub sonic speeds.
The last extra is a Buzz view of Shoal Bay, Port Stephens. Bagnalls beach where we go is the dog beach and a bit further west from here.
I have two very tired hounds - happy days.
