Flyover? Thought it was a stadium. Oh, they mean flypast. Bloody yanks raping our language again :rolleyes
Most impressive one I ever saw was the flypast - think they call it a Balbo? - at Duxford's Flying Legends air show, made up of Spitfires, Hurricanes, Mustangs etc etc. Must have been 60 or more aircraft.
When I was on 230 sqn (half past two sqn :lol ), we had a lift from RAF Gutersloh: 230 and 33 sqn Pumas, and 18 and 7 sqn Chinooks. Our own sqn actually got 12 cabs serviceable in one go for that one; unheard of! Plus about the same from 33, and must have been about 10 Chinooks. Man, the noise when you were stood on the airfield! Don't know if any of the pilots had "Flight of the Valkyrie" playing over the intercom :lol
