Thank god they didn't let them do this at Fairford, they requested a 90 minute slot and the flying lasts 20 odd minutes.

After seeing the Tbirds at Salthill i dont really think they are any thing to write home about....
apart from the fact they fly F16s i wouldnt really bother going to any trouble to see them again....

The Reds and all the other european teams are much better in every way......

I was quite surprised how good they where compared to 1994 at Mildenhall and the music is good nice to have a bit of metal with fast jets, commentator is getting on my wick though.

I work with an American and even she said that when she was back home she was sick to death of the patriotic tripe that they spew now after 9/11.

Watched this for a while and the live comments were more exciting than the flying!
 
The Americans really haven`t got a clue how to perform an exciting formation display-all that poncing about with the groundcrew is cringe inducing! ;D ;D ;D

Put a Sunday night in, more fun reading the live chat rather than watching the "Turdbirds" fly as someone called them

Just had another look and they are still taxiing in-GET ON WITH IT!!!
 
I saw the thunderbirds at their home base Nellis and I was surprised how long it took to change formations-the crowd lapped it up but I was bored out of my mind.
 
Best part of it was the noise;cause they are loud.
 
All that "Come Dancing" stuff on the ground is laughable-butt clenchingly funny!
