Line Break Loop Question

Post by Lawndart » Wed Aug 16, 2006 5:40 am

Below is a picture from the Solo Hit at the end of the LBL (Line Break Loop) Is it standard SOP for the Tbirds to fly two elements (1-3, 2-4, similar to the Hi-Lo Hit, but not as pronounced) during this hit or is this an optical illusion given the angle of the shot?

Secondly, 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6!!! You don't see this everyday. Guess that means our STRIKER (VTB) will have to master Line Abreast after all! ;) :lol:
