Bob,
You will notice the control party members are wearing Micky Mouse ear
protectors.
Me, I wonder what kind of lens the videographer is using. If he went
from a long lens picking up the aircraft as it came from the west and then
zoomed back to wide angle to keep it in focus as it went past him then he
must have a fantastic camera.
The two solos practiced alone at 1400 hours. At 1418 or so the lead
solo, aircraft in this image, came over our backyard at mach 0.97 lining up
for the sneak pass. I guess he was 300 feet above ground level. He was so
fast I never saw the aircraft. By time I swiveled in my lawn chair he was
gone!! Tom

I'd love to look at them but my ISP has 18 posts in this newsgroup right
now. No history or old stuff to look at......
