How about all the windows within a a few nm radius? Don't mean to bust your bubble, but I highly doubt he was booking more than 0.95...

Welcome to the boards!

The narrator said sorry about that on the speaker thing. So I figured they did cause it really rumbled the ground when it went over. The vendor probably didn't have it the tent tied down.....I also got an autograph from the First Women Pilot Of THE THUNDERBIRDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........I Have the pictures now

Tubs-
Any photo software such as Photoshop, Corel, etc... gives you the ability to crop and resample photos. Your pics need to be cropped closer to the formation. I'm not sure about any freeware or shareware out there, but if you Google "Graphics software" I'm sure you'll find something. Great pics tho.

Nice to see they're back and flying. I hadn't heard much since the collision over Chicago.

That's probably because they were back in business as usual within two weeks following the incident where #4's missile rail came off and have been going strong ever since! Of course between then and now, they've gone through a 4-month training season before this year's show season. Half the team is new, the old half is back and together they're representing the Air Force as well as they always do, each and every year! Quite amazing when you consider that half the team is new each year...

Haha 4's rail came off on my stab lol. We were ready to fly again as a team within 5 hours, the Air Force just wanted us to take a couple of weeks off. Grab
