My experience has been that the guys who have driven or flown similar
equipment are usually right, especially if they have learned to operate the
equipment near its limits, and the guys who have only watched are usually
wrong. A lot of the problem, for those including me, who have not "been
there" is the low resulotion and sampling rate of the video clips--with the
result that prior knowledge and expertise are required to know whether a
reasonable progression would fit the few data points presented.

Therefore, I will presume that Dudley is correct.

Not necessarily. There are several Yak demo pilots on the circuit and
seeing
the paint on the clip isn't all that easy.
I have a friend who has an LOA for the Mig 21 who might recognize the clip
and be able to ID the airplane and driver...perhaps not. I sent him the
clip
link tonight.
Looks real to me :-))

Yeah, it's hard to tell...and we may never know if it's real or a
fake.
I've seen enough faked pictures that I tend to first suspect they're
fake.
Movies though...this is the first one I've wondered about. Interesting
observations though Dudley.

I'll ask around and see if I can get a handle on it.

If it is legit then there should be plenty of credible eyewitnesses.
