Don't know if anyone has seen it or its been posted but it has some pretty sweet shots. Would be nice to see Airshow Buzz do a few videos with them.

Very exciting and intriguing video until the overall theme song comes in after the Tora name. This opinion coming from one warbird buff, its sounds way too happy and processed. I hope this group keeps getting better and bigger! (Wish they could acquire this Val at March AFB: http://static.panoramio.com/photos/orig ... 297661.jpg They have to make sure not to be afraid of changing, altering, and enhancing certain aspects of the routine.

Pardon me for posting a link to a website that I have a little to do with. I did some of the writing and co-hosted the PodCasts (when we were doing them) with William Foster. The page has fallen to the side while we work on our planes, but William did one heck of a job putting together a Tora video that you might enjoy. Ken Crites held our mic, along with his, at Airsho a couple of years ago, and we recorded his naration of the Tora act.

You'll have to go to the main page of the site, then scroll down to the fifth item to find the link. Sorry that I don't have the direct link here at work (it's blocked), but I'll try to post it this evening, if I can. Whoops! Might be real late tonight or tomorrow night, it's the Yellow Rose Squadron meeting and the Central Texas Wing meeting tonight!

Tora's always looked like one of the most fun acts any pilot can be a part of... too cool. Great job on the video!

Very nicely done... although I have to quote a line from the movie:

"Where the he11 are our fighters?"

I can see how you may have had a tough choice on the music - something too somber would have lessened the drama and excitement; something too overdramatic (like those irritating massed choruses that are used in nearly every action movie trailer nowadays) would be distracting. I did like the drumming (like Japanese taiko drums?), though.
