I'm not sure exactly when, but I was at the Biggin Hill Air Show with my Dad when I was 9 or 10 if I remember correctly and the Vulcan buzzed the crowd and pulled up almost vertically right in front of me.
It looked and felt about 18 feet away.
I can still remember the vibration, the sound level, and the pressure on/in my chest.
It was absolutely jaw dropping and utterly awe inspiring.
If god flew a light aircraft, his would be a Vulcan

If I could have a sig, that would definately be in it.
At the air show on the seafront in Folkestone, the sight that most impressed me was the lancaster/spitfire/hurricane formation, its breath taking in every sense. The B17 and P51d was an equally impressive spectacle.

I think one of the most amazing ones i have seen at Leuchers airshow was the B1B bomber.
I have seen this on full chat wings swept back and  Fuck me its loud and fast. The take off is imense.

i've seen this at Fairford (RIAT) every year for the past 7 yrs! it is the most amazing site in terms of aircraft size against manoeuvrability. it is super loud and with wings forward or back is a beautiful aircraft! it even has a control coulmn rather than a yoke - would certainly give the pilot the feeling of a fighter rather than a large bomber!
