Nice find! I like the inverted formation loop, that's something you don't see every day!

Cool footage! That inverted stuff is awesome. :lol:

Sucks that the chase jet didn't capture much of the diamond maneuvers though.

Love the look of that F-100. Best part is the burner pop at 10:20!

Yeah #4 was in trouble for sure. Held the brakes too long and just avoided the stall with a last ditch burner. He caught some grief in the debrief.
