"The Horsemen have always admired the Blue Angels flight demonstration team. So when Jim, Dan, and Ed found out they were flying a show with the Blues they decided to pay homage to the Angels by replacing their normal ride of P-51 Mustangs with F-8F Bearcats. When the Blues caught wind of what was happening they suggested their solo pilots fly formation with the Bearcats. Then everyone thought it would be cool if Al Taddeo, who flew Bcats on the first Blues team, came and watched the Bearcats fly. ASB.TV was there to capture the moment and the rest as they say... is history."
Horsemen Cometh - Horsemen Honor the Blues - Then & Now
Shipley Learns to Fly the Bearcat
"Shipley started flying when he was 14 and directing at 21. His passion for both flight and film is woven thoughout the fabric of ASB. Most of all, Ed loves formation aerobatics. It sooths his OCD and gives his drive for perfection an outlet. Ed's the first to say that there is no such thing as a perfect formation flight... just hints of it here and there. Maybe that's why his favorite qoute is; "Even a broken clock is right twice a day." With that in mind, we hope you enjoy at least two things in this episode of the Horsemen Cometh."
Toronto International Air Show
Hey;
Well, after a 26-year absence, the Blue Angels returned to the Toronto International Air Show. And along with them came the Horsemen and saw them fly over my place in a nice formation and was very nice to see the P-51D Mustang that close for the first time.
Will try to get some pictures of the show if I can.
