Excellent film, thanks for posting, love the commentary also.

Nice job - the wings were too heavy to be balanced by the pogo team so both chase car drivers left their vehicles and pitched in to help. Guessing that's part of the Safety Pilots job description as I've seen them do it a number of times over the years.

Thanks all.
I heard opps ask if he'd like to do a run and break for a bit of entertainment for a Friday afternoon.
Glad he wasn't 10 mins earlier as it absolutely poured it down - phew
