I downloaded the promo video with all of the Thunderbird stunts in it recently. I also downloaded it a long time ago. I noticed something missing in the new one. It was the same footage, but no bloopers! In the older one you had blooper footage at the end, what happend? I liked that video.

What you're referring to is the old movie from '04, not the recent promo(s) and it has been altered from its original release, now without any bloopers.

The U.S. Air Force and the real Thunderbirds did not enjoy that part and we're more than happy to oblige with their wishes of having them removed. We like to keep our relationship on good terms!!

Ah, I see. Could I get an old copy with the bloopers through an email or IM or something? It doesn't need to be posted, I just really loved that video and would like another copy.

Sorry guys, but we decided after the real Thunderbirds contacted us that the original version of the first video will not have the blooper segment in it in any public or private version. It is not in good taste, and you have to put yourselves in the shoes of the real team to understand that. There are more than a few Thunderbird pilots and other crewmembers that have given their lives in the line of duty and we don't want to make light of that in any way. Thanks for your understanding.

Very well, sir. As an aspiring pilot, I understand where they're coming from. I just loved that video, it kind of showed that even the best can make mistakes. Murphy's Law of Combat number 2 on my list

You are not superman, Marines and fighter pilots take note

I thought it was a good reminder personally.
