Wow!...what a line-up.
I think the
Snowbirds do a good show, but it sure would be a heckuva lot more impressive if they were doing it in CF-118s....those Tutors just look a little dumb, but I suppose they can fly nine of them for less than the price of two or three Hornets, and they are well suited for the demo role.... It's very difficult for them to do that "scare the livin' pancakes right outta tank nut" sneak pass maneuver that the
T-Birds and
Blues make such a crowd-pleaser with though.
These people don't realize it yet, but they're all just about 1/10th of a second from soiling themselves...
