I was fortunate enough to see their show three separate times, the last was
just last month in Janesville, WI. My thoughts echoed yours and those of
many others each time I saw them.
At Janesville, Bobby Younkin performed his Learjet show. After a low level
smoke on hi-speed pass down rwy 22 he flew off over the trees and TOTALLY
disappeared. The crowd was silent and the announcer stumbled and hesitated.
We were all waiting for the noise and the fireball. Seconds later he pulled
up and the crowd sighed a huge sigh of relieve. Scared the crap out of
everybody. Since seeing that, I flew over the west end of 22 at JVL and the
only thing I can figure out is that he flew down the river, below the tree
line.

It was a good show but I remember wondering aloud at OSH last year how
long
they could do it before was a collision.
