Love the Rollback to Arrowhead... one of my all time favs! AND... love the black tail on #4! Nothing like being behind the Boss burning JP4 and getting that tail "sooty" black!!!

Thanks for posting LD!

Well... I guess this is as good a time as any to ask a dumb question.

I've always wondered why the Blues DON'T wear O2 masks?

Great photos... cool seeing the gold helmet and mirrored visor in the back seat!

Hmm... Narrator said there was a problem with one of the aircraft. They were doing "checks"...

It took about 3 minutes until they resumed the show.

LD... What happened on Sunday during the line break loop (I believe)? They aborted. Then after a few minutes they setup and did the maneuver successfully and continued with the show. I didn't have my radio with me this year but figured you were listening and knew what was going on. GREAT shots Panth...

Thunderbirds - A Team Portrait Documentary 1987 Team

I'm not sure if many of you have seen this. It's a documentary about the 1987 team. Nicely done. Great vintage footage. I can't believe the F-100's were allowed to fly that low and over the audience. Some shots make it look like they are only 50' off the deck! I found this old show in some old VHS t...

My memory on this was a little foggy. I guess it was the Blues' 40th anniversary. Their video had the A4 Skyhawks in it. So I'm sure you had this right. I created this in 1986 and yes, by then the F16s had seen several seasons. Heck, over twenty years ago, and I've slept since then!!! Know what I me...

The T-38 Days...

This is an old video I found on VHS. I had edited it exactly to the Blues version from the era. They were celebrating their 50th anniversary.

Still love how the Talons looked like superfast quiet sharks!

Enjoy...

Okay, I think I'm almost there. Finally had some time over the holidays to "play" with this @#$!@#$ Vista machine and try re-installing LOMAC and Modman and the VTB skins. All seems well EXCEPT... When I run Modman (ver. 7.0.0.1) it states that Flaming Cliffs is installed in C:\Program Files\ and wi...
