Here's the binaural version of the video I uploaded a couple of days ago about a cool exhibition of the Swiss Hornet Display Team's F/A-18 Hornet on the shores of Lake Maggiore, near the city of Locarno, in Switzerland, for the 2023 ''Luci e Ombre'' festival. Captain Yannick ‘Fönsi’ Zanata was inside the cockpit of the American fighter jet.

Over the years I've tried severalI configurations and equipment for these recordings to the point of deciding to only use static scenes (with the gear mounted on a tripod or directly in my hands) in order to better highlight the 3D/surround effect of this unique stereo recording.
You can better watch the maneuvers of the F/A-18 at this link: youtube.com/watch?v=cwCzFOniMgk&t

-- What the hell is a 3D/Binaural recording? --
Binaural recordings are reproductions of sound the way human ears hear it. Traditionally, recordings have been made using mono or stereo. Mono uses a single microphone while stereo uses two, spaced apart from each other. Binaural recording takes the stereo method one step further by placing two microphones approximately at the same average distance that exists between one and the other human ear. To recreate the best effect you must put the microphones in your ears or by using a "dummy head" (wherein a mannequin head is outfitted with a microphone in each ear) because having a real head or a head shape that separates the two microphones is what makes the magic works. In fact if a car passes on your left side the sound will take a few extra microseconds to reach the right ear and it will also be louder in one ear (left) than the other. This is caused by the fact we have a thick skull and spongy brain between the two ears and sound waves interact with the physical constitution of the listener and the surrounding space. Instead of following the cars like I'm used to do with my 'standard', stereo videos, keeping the microphone static (and so the camera) the surround and depth effect typical of the binaural recordings is enanched.
