Nice pictures there Tailhook, liking the Fast Roping and the Texan's (at least I think they are Texans). Thanks for uploading, can't wait for the Tbird pics.

Viper did you go on Sunday?
Word is, that at around 5:30 local time, the Blues buzzed/smoked the Thunderbirds.

No, and I was ticked when I heard that the Blues showed up. It was supposed to be a complete trash day thunderstorms all day but instead from pics it showed blue sky again. So no I wasn't there Sunday but I wish I was.
Oh well, I will be seeing them this weekend at Pax.

On the bright side the Blues will have many more shows in the year. Also in the beginning of the video there's a smoke trail right above the runway, maybe they did buzz the Birds?

I'm sure they did a 200 ft flat pass with the smoke on, came back around, and then did the PUB to land. They probably went to go do their annual POTUS team photo, as well as to keep up "relations" with that certain Air Force group.

On these forums it's perfectly acceptable to refer to "that certain Air Force group" as "The Thunderbirds".
