Again, is just what i heard from airshow stories. Obviously you have to take what you hear from people at airshows with a grain of salt, because odds are, theyve heard it from someone who heard it from someone, and the line keeps going on and on. What I tell you is from someone who vacations in El Centro every year during the winter and early spring. True? I dont know.

D model also carries less fuel. We also like to put the D model in the slot due to symmetry, its rare you will see one in 2 or 3. If we do use a D model you will not see a back seater during a SHOW performance, not legal, however they are used quite a bit during practices and of course during training seaon with a new pilot up front and old pilot in the back.
