Gee Wizz!

An airshow held at Budapest, Hungary on May 1st drew tens of thousands to the banks of the Danube River to enjoy an array of aircraft displays ranging from a DC3, Pilatus Porter, Cessna 337 and some helicopters.
It would appear however that the Wizz Air Airbus A320 flyby was the highlight of the show for many so check out the attached YouTube video.

Wizz Air, the largest low-cost airline in Central and Eastern Europe, took part in the airshow for the very first time.  Wizz Air Captain David Morgan and Captain Andras Arday performed two flights above the Danube with one of the airline's brand new sharklet equipped A320 HA-LYA, delivered to the carried on 17 April 2014.  The first low level flight was performed at a speed of 140kts and down to 200ft above river level.  The second pass was carried out "clean" with the gear retracted and flaps up at 240kts.
