My Dad was in the Air National Guard growing up. We went to airshows at his base nearly every year. After the Blue Angels show where they had a collision, I noticed the performances all seemed to be less and less dramatic every year. Honestly one of the best performance demonstrations I ever saw by a team were the Canadian Snowbirds. Damn fine show. Next best was a lone F-15 pilot... did things in that plane I still to this day believe defies the laws of physics. But yeah, the rumble of afterburner, smell of JP4... miss those days!
At a football game at TA&M-commerce, an F-16 did a full out vertical climb over the stadium as part of veteran's recognition. My wife said car alarms went off for blocks around.
Look at how unaware those people seem to be. Those are the types to stay away from.
ReplyDeleteIs this an emergency in progress? I cannot fathom how it would be permissible at all to overfly the audience at such a low level.
Holy sheet! Can anybody provide some background information on this photo?

ReplyDeleteThe pilot gardens in his spare time and just wanted to get a better look at the flowers.
ReplyDeleteUnburned jet fuel has ruined more that a few close fly-bys.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the shadow of the F16? Photoshopped, methinks.

Yes. No sign of disturbed air from engine hot gas distorting clouds behind.
