Sure does bring a lump to the throat! Great video thanks for the link. I wonder what the story is behind the fly-by, is the 747 pilot ex-RAF? Clearly a huge thrill and honor for him whatever. The slow moving 747 never ceases to amaze, they almost seem to be hovering.

Of all the modern jet liners, the 747 is the best looking one in my opinion. Very nice lines on the big bird. The 747 is the only FS9 stock jet liner I have bothered to fly. And that is simply because I like the styling of the plane.

I think I heard someone mention pilot was ex-military, and managed to swing something for Virgin's 25th.

great formation shame its spoiled by that ugly thing in the middle of the formation :icon_lol: *dives for trench awaiting the inevitable return fire*, Virgin Atlantic been about 25 years? jeez they're doing ok then for an airline, not up there with the greats yet but getting there... love this formation just for the Hawks :jump: (personal favourite aircraft in all variants t1,t1a,t1w,100,LIFT/128/T2,200)

my idea of a great formation:

Forget the lump in the throat, that one makes me want to contribute to the "Keep Concorde Alive " Fund...
Can one make a tiny video into computer wallpaper I wonder?
