Two more shots from Airfest 2014 tonight from Macdill Air Force Base, Tampa, Florida. The first shot is Mike Goulian in an Extra 330SC and Rob Holland in MXS-RHa in a Calypso Pass maneuver. Per the Guinness Book of World Records “The closest that two planes flying at high-speed have performed a mirror image is 45 cm (18 in). The maneuver, known as the ‘Calypso Pass’, was performed by two 71,000-hp Lockheed-Martin F-16 Falcons belonging to the United States Air Force Thunderbirds display team at the Aviation Nation Air Show 2005 in Nellis, Las Vegas, USA on 12-13 November 2005. Both planes were flying at a speed of 1,223 km/h (760 mph) – close to the speed of sound.” The second shot is Matt Younkin in a Beech 18 which is definitely not what most people would consider a stunt plane.
