I saw this over on "Airliners" and think it needs to be seen hear

Don't know weather it should go hear or in the Non warbird bit though

Pity there is no sound because I don't think we could ever imagine it!

I've seen this before, but not in awhile. That's actually scarey how close they are to the crowd let alone themselves!

Um, wow!

Not much margin for error there.

The differences between a show in the U.S. controlled by the Freely Associating A$$holes and their '15000 yards from the crowd, don't ever point the airplane @ the people' and shows done in places other than the U.S.-remember, it was the FAA who cancelled the traditional Blue Angels show @ Seattles SEAFAIR hydro races in 1994 because the maneuvers were 'potentially dangerous'
except for the fact that neither the Blues or the Thunderchickens have modified their show maneuvers substantially in 50+ years. (political pressure from some Mount Baker rich homeowners who didn't like the noise put out by the then new to the team FA-18's)
On the other side of the coin you can get Freci Trecilori @ Ramstein too. or Farnborough 1952 (53?)

The (social/political/economical) price of having an accident today is not the same has it was before. In a unrelated note, this is also why it is much more expensive to go to space today than when Neil and Aldrin went there... security comes with a big price tag ("price" is meant in more than the economical sense).

great videos, wish I was there

Hey,
That pic was taken by our pal Parr. 45 years ago!

Looking forward to hanging around in Geneseo with Parr and his Lense!

See you there!

That's Awesome! As is Parr! Parr's bringing me to the light side...(he's a loose Canon..inside joke).

There was a special back when Discovery had their "Wings" channel on the T-birds which featured some great video of the Huns at low altitude, and of course "Threshold: the Blue Angels experience" cannot be seen enough for low-altitude Phantom stuff!
