Video: Thunderbirds (1986)

Very nice.

I realize 1986 was almost 25 years ago...but that camera work makes it look like 125 years.

Is that the cast of Karate Kid 2 at 14:05?

Ah wow! I haven't seen this in such a long time. I believe I have it on VHS. I'll have to try and get it onto a DVD.

Which is it? Are you going to get it onto DVD, or just try? You can't both try _and_ do it.

File this under "glory days".

I still think BBop's and JV's days were the best in the -16, because they had more of a "show" by then along with the personalities and flying of course.

Thanks for sharing Blaze. I finally got a spare moment to watch the clip, and I'm 99% sure I have this on a DVD at home... (Summer Thunder maybe)? I'd have to dig around in the archives.

In some ways I think today's "show" is much better, but at the same time severely lacking in the most obvious area. If you could mesh the airmanship from the past with today's timing and overall presentation, it would be hard to beat.

I'm pretty sure it's not Summer Thunder... although looks familiar.

Regardless, I know it's on one of thirty -some demo team DVD's at home.

Just checked my DVDs, it's from Summer Thunder Vol. 1.

Well cool, I'll make sure I remember to look at that DVD again.
