Found this YouTube video with highlights from the show May 3rd with really good comms. Looking forward to Gunner's review...

Maybe I'm mistaken, but they stole your show!!!
They tried to copy Smoke On, it's clear!
Nice to hear a female voice for the solo act.

Just got back to Phoenix from So Cal midday today - what a great show on Saturday! Krista and I went to the show with some friends that live near March, but they haven't been to an airshow for many years... it was so much fun to see their reactions! Their 17 year old son had never seen the Thunderbirds fly(just the VTB), and he was blown away!
The weather was perfect until about an hour before the T-Birds, then it got quite windy with gusts probably 20 - 30 knots. I was expecting to see some evidence of the challenging winds, but they pulled off a great show, including the cross after the high BB. They really are looking great early in the season, I'm glad we made the trip over.

Hey guys, I was there to enjoy the t-birds this weekend, at my home base of MARCH. The Saturday show was great as usual, but the Sunday show got off to a bumpy start. A couple maintenance issues postponed the show a bit. The ability to jump right back into the routine was very impressive! If anyone was at the Air Show Saturday morning, I was the lucky guy manning the Pred display. Hope we got to chat LOL.
Anyway just watched the VFAT show again and you guys do a VERY good job, keep up the good flying.
While your at it, you can check out some Predator handywork.

@Joey - I was there Saturday, but didn't even see the Predator. Sorry I missed you, but it sure was a great show!

It was back just to the left of the KC 10 . No worries man. It was a great show I really enjoyed seeing the Birds over my home base.
