From USA with love

[Josée Normandeau]

In 2008, the city of Québec was celebrating its 400th birthday. USA sent a nice gift: the Thunderbirds AND the Blue Angels were at Quebec Air Show that summer! :cool:

Those teams rarely give a show outside the US and they are never at the same air show. So imagine the luck that we had. We are still grateful for the nice gift.

Some of you already posted the Blue Angels, here are the Thunderbirds! Aren't they beautiful?

Hey Josee,
must have been quite the treat!!! It is truly unbeleivable how close they get to each other and yes.....I remember building a model of the Thunderbirds when I was a youngster! Not the F16's though!

tbirds and the blues in the same weekend is a definite treat. only thing to make it better would be to add the snowbirds. pure heaven!!!!

i would give this a little bit of CCW rotation. seems they are travelling a little down hill. nice job getting them so close together. i know how lucky you have to be!!!!!

You captured this formation very nicely! Great treat to get both of these teams at the same airshow. Good suggestion on rotating the image slightly.

Nice and sharp! Love the detail. I know these guys move when they cruise by and do this and you only get but one chance. Great job!

[Fabs Forns]

Wow, really neat show, I like the juxtaposition and light.
