Burner could tell you, but then he'd have to kill you!

I know nothing about how it was done, except it was a bit of technical wizardry from our very own Number two...

They flew the High show in difficult wind conditions.

Coming around for the 5 card, #5 had difficulty in joining up in time and hence they converted it to a stinger loop.

Their Blue ones were probably at the dry cleaners... you know.. sea salt and all that...!

That F-111 footage is famous. Here is a quote from the Qantas pilots bulletin board about it... Check out the footage of these two F111s at the Evans Head Air Weapons Range back in 1994. I was posted there and clearly remember standing there on the roof taking photos of those jets as they went over ...

No offense taken... :wink: (and it's NOTHING like rugby) A quick guide to the rules. If the ball travels more than 15 yards and is caught on the full, then a "mark" is awarded and a free kick is taken from that spot. That is why the mark is so contested and the reason why flying over the back of som...

Errrr, rugby? I think not.

Try again...

This will be the first time for Perth and Australia and is expected to draw most of the citizenry of that goo...

Armstrong's authorised biography," First Man" say that the story is one of those things which has assumed a life of its own. He says that he didn't actually say it, it was a joke done by Buddy Hackett in the early 1990's on the tonight show. Now no-one believes him when he mentions that. Its a great...

It wouldn't be their policy. There are female F-18 pilots in both the Navy and Marines. They take all the risk that the men do. If there have been no female pilots in the Blue Angels it would be because none have applied or if they have, they were not been selected up to this point. I would suggest ...

Sure. As with the real Thunderbirds, if we get a lady applying with the right skills and attitude, why not?

That was done in the Qantas Flight Simulator center.

As far as B2 detectability is concerned, rumour has it that the Aussie developed Jindalee OTHR (over the horizon radar) system can indeed detect the B2 and any other stealth aircraft. It does this by detecting the turbulence created by the passage of the aircraft.
