Etihad Airways flew the newly painted A320 logo jet advertising the 2009 F1
Grand Prix. First pass was a 90 degree right turn to crowd centre gear down
and a steep climb out, but the second pass was a partial topside pass and
steeper climb out at 350kts...! |
The team Guinot wing walkers from the UK, or should they be head standers...? |
Nice view over the dunes |

Mikael Carlson from Sweden again - this time in an original Bleriot XI which
is around 100years old. Amazingly and very gently flown...! No throttle,
just on or off for the engine, so powered flight then in effect gliding then
powered flight again...! |

The Saudi Hawks were the only jets taking part this year, and as have seen
them a number of times, only a few shots shown. |

Jurgis & Skip closed the show by performing as "TinStix of Dynamite" which
meant a duel, head to head passes with huge pyrotechnics going off as they
crossed. The final battle resulted in a massive wall of fire... Amazingly
dramatic, and we could feel the heat at over 70m away...! |
