The newly restored de Havilland Mosquito KA114 flying at the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach on June 12, 2013. This is the only flying Mosquito in the world at this time. She was built in Canada but sent straight to reserve storage on completion in 1945. Eventually, in 1948, she went as surplus to a farmer in Alberta who apparently used it for random parts. In 1978 she was discovered, "rescued", and again stored until 2005 when Avspecs in New Zealand began her full restoration. After initial flights in New Zealand, the Mosquito was disassembled and shipped to the US, flying again in May of this year. This video is of her headed to the airshow in Hamilton, Canada.
Sorry in advance about the shaky camera work, but I was looking over the camera rather than through it for much of the fly-by. I think it captured the sound nicely, at least.
The jet noises are Oceana F/A-18's flying overhead
