Summary[edit]

Description

Besides the Blue Angels and the USAF Thunderbirds, I've been privileged to see the German Navy's F104G team, the Italian Tri-Colore and the Brazilian Smoke Team. (that's what they call it) I've seen film of the British Red Arrows and the Canadian Snow Birds, Russian Knights and others.

The Blue Angels are the reference standard. I've been watching them since 1965 or 66, and I never get tired of them.

This frame has been rotated, cropped and digitally sharpened to bring out the maximum information, although it winds up with a rather strong "texture" too. Sorry. This is the best I could do with what I had, and I DO like it!
