 Onboard the Mosquito, flying in formation with some of the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum planes.

I'm a sucker for these onboard videos of warbirds. If I was there I would be pinching myself if I was in the middle of that surrounded by Spitfires, Hurricance and a Lancaster.

It really gave a real sense of what it's like to be in formation. Just watching the video, I even felt the same sort of tension in my gut when I fly a formation for real. It can get very busy if it's a bit bumpy but those guys made it look easy.

Right at the end just as the Lanc was shutting down, there was a glimpse of a big guy with a camera crew following him. I'd swear it was Mikey McBryan of Ice Pilots? Anyone else see him?
