And they were back in fine (and LOUD) form last weekend at the
Cleveland Air Show. I had to take my 4 year old into the 737 that
was on static display to get away from the noise. It was very painful
for him, even with earplugs. Keep this in mind if you are bringing
kids to see them at an airshow.

Two U.S. Air Force Thunderbird F-16s made contact during a
performance at Chicago Air and Water Show on Aug 21, prompting the
team's immediate landing. The #3 (right wing) and #4 (slot) aircraft
touched during the Diamond formation's pass-in-review, causing part of
a wingtip missile rail to break off one fighter (slot). There were no
injuries or significant damage. The contact was so minor that pilots
initially attributed the bump to turbulence. Practice flights were
resumed on Aug 23.
