The Reflection Roll. Pretty neat, eh. It's been a while since we did those on the VTB as well, maybe time to start practicing those again.

I like the old music and you can't argue with a few of their trademarks or forte's: The Line Abreast Roll and Loop and all the formation changes they perform in the "float" of a maneuver with cascading smoke.
The more you watch and learn from each different aerobatic team, you realize how they are all truly Apple's and Orange's. So different, yet to most normal people they are all the same. The Snowbirds certainly have a lot of grace and smoothness throughout entire long sequences that keep the planes in front of the crowd. The Blues perform tons of rejoins and some hair on fire stunts, while the Thunderbirds are "precisionists" in both timing and flying clean cut formations. They do have one important thing in common, however; they are all best at what
they do!
