I rediscovered this video I'd posted to YouTube a few years ago when I posted my TSS Ernslaw Steamship post this morning. You may have noticed I'm a bit of a nut for machines that fly, float , huff, puff, toot or make lots of smoke and noise...I just had to share and I hope a few others appreciate this kind of thing.
About the Pilot
Matt Hall is a former Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) F-18 Fighter Combat (Top Gun) Instructor, international unlimited aerobatic competitor and the first Australian to compete in the Red Bull Air Race World Championship. You can read more about Matt and his amazing aviation career here .
This was filmed at Sunshine Coast Airport (YBSU), Queensland, Australia, I believe Matt was performing for the Recreational Aviation Australia conference.
