Anyone else see it? Just totally awesome to watch it, I hope someone had the wit to film it and put it on youtube, I was just there with my mouth open watching what is truly a scary fecking aircraft. Five minutes that were the absolute highlight of a great day.

I`m not a plane anorak or anything but last year at Shoreham when the Eurofighter did it`s bit it was pretty awesome.
The angle it climbs at is just ridiculous.

I think it was one of these that I saw at Eastbourne Airshow a couple of years back...

The pilot came in towards the pier at about 300ft., then pulled the stick back and accelerated vertically to about 5000ft...

Quite noisy as I recall
