Crew Chiefs. Grab

Hehe bout the same as any other Fighter Pilot to include the Blues. Grab

Haha nah Viper I am one of the few that doesn't smile, just my personality. Grab

That is one of the best compliments I have ever received as a part of this team! Thank you from all of us! As far as Maj. Casey's profile, it will stay the same. Maj. Farrar will walk Capt. Weeks through her profile via one of the D models throughout training season ending in her joining Maj. Casey ...

The bird hit the top of the radome and caused no damage to the aircraft, may have been different if he would have hit on the bottom of the radome, never pretty taking a bird up the intake. Grab

They cover our gas and smoke oil, plus the insurance policy. The only thing we are allowed to make money on is our own private gift shop located in our museum. We are not even allowed to sell T-Bird stuff at the shows. Grab

We had a great time in Rockford! 6 did his first sneak pass in a show on Saturday, 8 and a half G's later (HAHAHA) he was pretty pumped, flew about 8 screws out of my jet. Grab

The way our jets run down are as follows. 1-6 are all C models We have 3 #7 jets(spares), all C's 2 #8 jets, both D's for the advance pilot and Crew Chief That being said we will use D models in the Demo, generally number 4. The reasons for this are we will most always have a C model spare simply be...

D model also carries less fuel. We also like to put the D model in the slot due to symmetry, its rare you will see one in 2 or 3. If we do use a D model you will not see a back seater during a SHOW performance, not legal, however they are used quite a bit during practices and of course during traini...

Very much an illusion

That would be the Emergency Power Unit pin and yes it gets pulled at EOR just prior to the EPU bleed air run up, just dont want to play around with Hydrazine in front of thousands of people . Grab

Hehe I love that first pic, have the video. The guys in the way old days around the year 2000 used to play little games, this was one of them, not kiddin, they were nuts! Grab

Correct on all acounts. During the preflight checks us maintainers run with the lights on, during the demo the only lights seen are the landing lights on the diamond jets as 5 passes them. Grab

Our guys spend quite a bit of time in formation and we fly a local practice on Tuesdays(if we are home). Grab

Haha 4's rail came off on my stab lol. We were ready to fly again as a team within 5 hours, the Air Force just wanted us to take a couple of weeks off. Grab
