[Star'Fox]

Great video from inside and outside the Mk IX cockpit, with voice over by Dave Hadfield at the Great Lakes International Airshow in June 2018.

That was very cool. Thanks for posting!

That was great... thanks!

My favourite flying machine by far!

Nice video, but that panel mounted GPS in such a machine really cheapens the whole plane though... Such a shame...

Daaang how much did he pay for that thing?

Thanks for sharing, his commentary was insightful. There's a decent sim of it in DCS for anyone that wants to try it.

[C.W.E.]

Awesome, simply awesome.

Daaang how much did he pay for that thing?

He didn't. The aircraft is owned by Mike Potter and run by Vintage Wings of Canada. Rough estimate on what the thing is worth: Probably about 3 million.

Awesome, simply awesome.

That really was awesome!

Big thumbs up to Mr. Potter & Mr. Hadfield.

I really appreciate the pilot to pilot narration.

Talk about separating the men from the boys.....or the women from the girls, you get the idea.......

Great lesson of what flying is really all about.

And now, sarcastic as I am, all we now have are the children of the magenta line who could not function without their smartphones

Beautiful job.

Cheers
