In a similar vein the C130 doing a loop at Farnborough.

Former CEO and founder of Southwest Airlines, Herb Kelleher, passed away last week. I got this video in my "suggested" videos on Youtube and being a fan of Southwest Airlines (and having read quite a bit about the guy himself), I wasted no time in checking it out. Keep in mind, this is from 1989, but a lot of the things described in the video about Sotuhwest are still quite true even today (except for some things like 15 minute turn-arounds - today they're 1 hour). Not surprising!
