Found this while running through Steve's stuff on YouTube, something he added just today.

Wow, great find! They did things so differently like the half cuban takeoff, stinger break loop, etc etc....gotta love the 80's, plus I could swear I saw Burner as a kid out there begging for an autograph! :wink:

This is the same piece found on the 4 disc DVD set called Summerthunder along with that of the Phantom era and the Blue Angels. Still don't know which exact year this is from off the top of my head, but Steve was more or less right on with the early 80's. The paintscheme on the jets suggest one of the first 5 years of using the Viper (1983-1987).

Nice find Rhino!
