Thunderbirds first time in Finland. Tight enough?

Looks like #3 finally figured things out! :wink: Good to see some slight wing overlap on other maneuvers too.

They're just flying the Diamond in diamond.

The 2011 team is looking sharp!

Good to see them flying some Stage Two halfway trough the season.

It was great to finally see the TBs live! The show was fast and the flying precise (like expected of course :wink: ). On the second day the weather changed rapidly during the show, giving us two sneak passes! The first one was expected, though the second one surprised us all. :P

Yeah we had two sneak passes at Waddo on the Saturday, although with a strong head wind, I didn't actually hear much of the jet screaming past and missed it on the diamond roll, LOL.

I have a lot on at work this week with a conference so will get the footage together over the weekend and post up.

Over 2Gb of 1080p video LD.
It's taking a while to process it all together, but am still on it.
