I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. I was with others who were filming at diferent spots, and I chose to be

at the top of Elevation. Very pleased I was.

Great sound effects from the 2 engines, and looks particularly impressive with the exhaust back-lit. But there seems to be a few problems with the sound quality, don't know if it was filmed on an old camcorder? Might be worth trying to re-upload the clip, but change the settings on youtube uploader before you do. Would love to hear it with clean sound!
