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! :D 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. 8) 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.

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.
