Listen to that new engine! Woo-hoo! 2 jets returning to Nellis AFB after some practice at Creech AFB.

Only two months until they fly at MacDill. Wound be fun to meet up with some of you in the local area; Metro, Bloke, Blaze, Talon, Burner - all Florida guys, and see the new Block 52's first hand. Show season is almost here... 8)

The Blues fly at Punta Gorda the weekend before MacDill as well.

I will definitely be at MacDill! See you guys there! 8) Last year's MacDill Airfest was a blast, got to see all 3 Starfighters perform and the Snowbirds. It'll be nice to kick off this season with the Thunderbirds! :D

It is a wonder that I get anything done at work. :D The Thunderbirds have been flying 3-4 sorties a day since last Monday at Creech or on the range nearby. Looking Good for early season. ;)

@Metro, too early to say for me. I'm sure we'll start a new thread on MacDill Air Fest 2009 as we get closer.

@Panther, have you spotted any subtle changes yet with the new birds that only our trusted #7 would see?

Nothing yet but I haven't seen the solos flying their routine yet. I have only seen the diamond highshow and the new opposing solo working the hi-lo hit, lbl, 5-card, along with delta series.
