Unimpressed.

The picture below is Fairchild Hall at the Blue Zoo.Now imagine that peculiar structure in the middle of the gap towards the right end of the building not there.

Now imagine one of the Thunderbirds flying an F-4 through there.

Inverted.

Below the roofline.

I don't have to imagine it; I've seen it.

Cool - I once asked some A-10 pilots for a bubble check and one flew between the radar and an HF-Antenna, below the line of sight of the two, and inverted...not an F-4, but still impressive.

Best thing in flight I ever saw was an two Ospreys and an American Eagle. I was on a golf course in Florida and I watched a Osprey dive into the water and pull a big fish out. He/she had a wing man and they flew off. The Eagle enter the picture like a fighter jet. The wing man tried to knock the Eagle off course but it made it under the Osprey with the fish and flipped upside down. The Eagle flipped upside down swiped at the fish with its talons and the Osprey moved just in time and the Eagle missed. The two Osprey flew away and the Eagle returned in the direction it came. It was pretty cool to see.

One of Boeing’s test pilots, Tex Johnson, with his 2 passes/2 rolls of the prototype Boeing Dash-80, (precursor to the soon to be famous 707), at 400 feet above Lake Washington during ‘halftime’, of Seattle Seafair’s 8/7/1955 Unlimited Hydroplane race was pretty cool to see. Then Boeing honcho Bill Allen later asked Tex what the hell he was thinking!!! “Just tryin’ to sell airplanes” he responded!
