Yes, it's supremely skilful and impressive to see, but I always
wonder why they do this; there's no need for aeroplanes to be

Makes ya wonder how close the Air Force Thunderbirds get with their

The Blues will never "out do" the blunder birds. What was it?
10 or 15 years ago a whole flight of 'em flew right into the
ground? Their main job is playing "follow the leader" but I'd
need to keep a little of that attention on my own hide.
