    Default For the Airshow Buffs

    this is not photoshopped. it's the mirror pass from the US Air Force Thunderbirds. it never occurred to me that they painted the "5" upside down on the top plane just for this pass!!:eek:

    for those not familar with this, there are six planes. four are used for formation flying while the other two entertain the crowd doing the "crazy and stupid" stuff while the other four are out getting into new formations. the two opposing solos are also used to scare the heck out of you. it's called the sneak pass. they sneak from behind and left and cross over your head at about 600 mph when you least expect it!!:D

    i'll post the formation tomorrow.

    C'mon, man. That's not very responsible driving. Shame on them. If I drove my car like this I'm pretty sure it would piss a lot of people off.

    Awesome pic! I didn't even notice that 5 - very cool.
