A brilliant show by Ralph "Sheik" Aarts

Was lucky enough to meet the guy and take a photo with him, and...what a great guy, very good charactered and well-mannered. I was shy to ask him to take a look at the cockpit, but he surely would've let me, because he did let some of my friends...but anyway, better luck next time I guess.
Hope you enjoy my vid

That's one of the reasons why he is flying in his third year. Usually, they switch all 2 years. Ralph is a demo pilot, you can't find often, who spends a lot time with his fans.
I'm still very thankful to him and the team, that they let us to take this shot, in front of Orange.

I see that he changed his show, not really an improvement IMHO, rather just different. The narrator's accent sounds quite bad to me (since I'm Dutch myself I guess). I do have respect that Ralph is speaking to the public during maneuvers, but that is about all positive I have today.
Oh and I finally started to like the new paint job.
Thanks for sharing anyway.
