    That was one heck of a impressive video. It must have been incredibly expensive to produce. It appears many of the air to a air shots were taken from a helicopter. That alone takes this kind of production out of the hands of casual videographers. I enjoyed it intensely. My son (who is afraid of flying) didn’t like it very much.

    Nice video with great visuals. Suggestion would be to explore current production Aerobatic aircraft as the Edge and Sukhoi are not presently produced. Additionally the Pitts S1 was not represented, but air to air with S2C and S2S were stunning. Nice video, though!
