Growing up as an Air Force brat I’ve seen some pretty cool aircraft in flight around the airfields such as the B-52, SR-71 or F-15’s doing ground to ceiling interceptor climbs with full afterburners. What you typically don’t get a lot of is commecial airlines doing low speed passes. Check out this video of an Airbus A310 doing a low speed turn during the Portugal airshow.

From the YouTube entry:

The pilot on this great performance flight was Cap. C?sar Brito no less than the TAP Airbus A310 fleet last Chief Pilot…this awesome pilot have 4.000 hours on the A310 and TAP wanted to pay the best tribute for almost 20 years of service in TAP without an accident. The airplane involved was CS-TEI and the co-pilot of that flight was Vitor Pereira.
