Thunderbirds and Altimeters

Dudley,

It used to be standard procedure at a major U.S. Airline which shall go
un-named (AA) to do just that on every approach. Pilots scoffed at it at
first, and then swore by it after they'd done it a few times. QFE vs.
QNH.
That airline doesn¹t do it any more.

Hi Woody;

I've been breifed yesterday that the TB are indeed using an MSL setting for
their shows and not the AGL as I had thought.
As for the AA situation on approach; was this before radar altimeters? :-))
