I don't know if this has been posted before, but I found this footage of the Old Stick & Rudder Company's Corsair & a Yak 3 (not sure who owns the Yak now, but both were previously owned by OFMC) displays at this years Omaka Classic Fighters show, on YouTube.

Corsair:

There is also footage of the Yak 3 practice display too:

I thought you might like that display Rob. :D

Keith Skilling put on a superb display - it must have been quite something to have seen it first hand!
