Could you list the WORST factors of both helicopters and fixed wing aircraft? ;)

Bearing in mind that with a tiltrotor you could at least walk away from a grass landing and look as if you meant to land on that surface! :-o

I wonder if you were able to do precise stop frame whether the passing pilots acknowledge those assembled on the mountain??
I see they place orange markers down on the ground - presumably for a reason??

David, they certainly do acknowledge the photographers, a friend of mine actually recieved some wonderful pictures of him flying his 100 Sqn Hawk through the Mach Loop a few years ago. The photographer had contacted RAF Leeming and forwarded the shots to him, he then rang the chap and actually had one of the shots looking down on him as his laptop screensaver!

The orange banners let the aircrew know where the "FANS" are.

Here's a little Christmas present for you all - never-before-seen footage of XM655, from a rather unusual angle.

Sooty

One Olympus 301 has twice the power of a complete F1 starting grid.
XM655 has four of them, all serviceable.
