Egomaniacs never do. Some people just have nothing better going on in thier lives that to be a pain in the a$$ to others.
I still vote for those old slow, subsonic Stearmans of John Mohr and the old Red Baron Squadron
 
Really not surprised there, almost did it myself last night when he started putting words in my mouth that I didn't even mention (me being jealous because the Red Arrows didn't have supersonic jets - I haven't mentioned the Red Arrows in this thread for years...).

Just coming back repeatedly proves his intelligence, there was absolutely nothing of substance to back up his claims. He didn't even understand that a good camera angle can make any aerobatic team look good and like they are in close formation.
 
I would like to thank him for letting me get my second kill!

My fav acrobatic was the old guy in the yellow Piper. Followed by the Blue Angels. They performed very sharply the few times I've seen them.
 
Blue Angels pilots' undisciplined behaviours continues in their shows as well (Hear the sounds of the pilots). View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM_ZB7jqxz8

He was too stupid to know that there was a passenger flying in a 2 seat F/A-18 making all the comments while holding a camera. This guy is one of the dumbest people to ever come on this site.

I allowed him ample time to try to show some streak of intelligence but in the end he was too stupid to keep around here.
 
Haha that was fun to read...

But I wanted to say, yes Messy1 it is very cool to see the Thunderbirds perform, you can see the smoke trails from the whole valley, it is really cool, but alot of time I end up being to only guy on the cross country team looking at them haha
 


Two words...ZOOM COMPRESSION.

I am a professional aviation photographer and I can tell you that there is not 1 meter between the cockpit. LOOK AT THE TAILS, they are clearly one behind the other, not on top of each other.

How about formation takeoff




Mirror images can be manipulated with angles. Here is one that is probably just as tight as yours:


Close?


And yes, other teams can perform in tight manuevers as well:


Now for professionalism, when an aircraft has a problem, like a bird strike, you have to be able to continue performing as normal. Because of a problem at one show, the Thunderbirds continued in the formation we photographers dubbed "The flying Dorito".

Great posts there Eric. Last time I saw the Thunderbirds was back in 1988 at Shaw AFB in South Carolina. It is about time I see them again. Last time I saw the Blue Angels was back in 2001 in Norfolk, VA. Both were amazing shows!
