If you start both videos at the same time (using "Thunderbirds Release Brakes Ready Now" as the cue) it really shows the consistency in timing the Thunderbirds have. Minus a few maneuvers where they end up a few seconds tight/stretched due to wind, and/or internal timing between passes (Diamond/Solos), you almost cannot tell the difference while watching the shows in tandem without the videos getting too far out of synch.

Wow! Great observation Lawndart. The Thunderbirds a truly amazing. Everything they do includes so much dedication, precision and team work. Watching the videos without letting them get to far out of synch like you said really inspires you in a way.

It's a different kind of tight flying, and precision teamwork!
