[pascalcomby]

Felicitations, une belle leçon de pilotage... Merci pour ces agréables images !

We had them at the Elkhart Airshow a few times and they were great, so sad that they have passed on.

After having watched them at Oshkosh for many years, I was lucky enough to have taken aerobatics lessons from them in Bunnell, FL. They ran a world class operation!

dirty flying

[mopp86]

2:13 et 4:42 c'est tout simplement WAOUH !!!

[BenHaor]

Very nice aerobatic flight and video! Not surprisingly an experienced capitan in control of the second CAP-10, as it isn't for everyone to get the maneuvers done precisely, specially in a formation flight!

Nice video! I have seen them once in Quebec, they were great. I just learned about their tragic end...Very sad...

[kwjibo]

I miss those 2 very much....I worked for them At Mudry Aviation, as Daniels Apprentice.....i was there the day they went down....it was horrifing....but it is good to see them in the sky one more time. John and Bruno would be proud....thanks again for sharing this with me and everyone else that loved the skies as much as they did.

[Fabbydabbydoozy]

That is a brilliant vid. Those pilots got skill dude!

[spookythecat]

wow! thanks for sharing. i saw them every summer growing up in oshkosh.

[firelord1218]

if these were the pilots who crashed at that one beach i was watching them from a observation tower very shocking thing to see

[badbadm]

My brother flew as a VIP passenger with them at HSV '92. Needless to say, he was beyond impressed.

[joaoacrobatic]

[banditopilot]

[aaron8862006]

impressive mirror turn! it's great to see footage like this that few people get or put up.

[skanoir]

great video! :D

[nicknfla2]

As a 25 plus year volunteer at Sun 'n Fun in Lakeland, Florida, and working on the flightline as an Air Show Techinal Inspector, I was priviledge to personally know and interact with Montaine and Daniel. Two very gentle souls that could fly beyond belief! I was very saddened when I heard about the crash that took their lives. This is a great video and my thanks to you that I am able to add it to my favorite playlists.

Wonderful - privileged to have seen these two perform several times.

RIP Montaine & Daniel

Great Video!

[stevethepilot]

Amazing. I can appreciate how hard formation aerobatics is, and how easy these pilots make it look. I particularly like how there isn't any horrible music to go along with this great video.
