Even as I write, Agent 78 is about six miles over the Pacific Ocean, from whence she sends an invitation to consider the words of the pre-flight safety demonstration:

L'Armée de l'Aire célébrent 50 ans d'Astérix et la Patrouille de France

It's been some time since WWW featured a video of spectacular formation flying, a subject of great interest to yours very truly and Agent 17, to whom be much thanks for this 2009 video. À l'occasion du 50ème anniversaire d'Astérix, créé en octobre 1959, la Patrouille de France rend hommage au plus célèbre des Gaulois dans un film décoiffant! No translation needed. Just watch and enjoy.

VIDEO: Absolutely amazing airshow stunts!

All you aviation buffs -- I know you're out there -- will surely join Walt in thanking Agent 17 for this short (4+ minutes) video of highlights from the 2014 edition of the Cameron Air Show 2014. Agent 17 said watching this array of cunning stunts was good for his bowels. Walt agrees.



The Cameron Air Show is held every year in Cameron MO [No surprises there. Ed.], hard by St. Joe. The 2015 show is just one month away -- June 27th and 28th. Here's the FB link with the lineup and other details. Air ya gonna be thar?

Your number's not up until it's up

Thanks to Agent 46 for forwarding this incredible airshow video.

Agent 17, do you think you could have done this, back in the day?
