Here is another fine example. In 1986, Major D.F. (Yogi) Huyghebaert led an historic five plane flypast at the Abbotsford Airshow. The other aircraft came from the U.S., Italy, France, and Brazil.

Good find Rhino. There's also a french movie that was popular in Europe featuring the Mirage 2000 I think, called Les Chevaliers du Ciel or translated to Skyfighters in the English release. The aerial photograpghy is fantastic. Here a link to a trailer of sorts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGCAgK...

As interesting as all this is about dirty vertical fins and nostalgic memories of loud Phantoms, I think the intent of my post got lost. The picture I stumbled on while researching Canada's Golden Hawks conveys the cooperation and longstanding goodwill between national aerobatic display teams, parti...

Not long after I met Striker and found myself on the same channel with him on Ventrilo one day, there was some confusion due to our very similar nicks. I told the others sharing the channel that Striker was my evil twin and maybe I mentioned something about him not being able to spell very well. Tru...

I'm not sure your correct about the free ver...

Gunner's post would have solved that issue when I copied and pasted his post into my config file and matched the resolution, but that didn't work either. It turns out that the problem is I messed up a manual install of the VSB Tutor mod. I ...
