That looked like a good day, Ian. And it must have been pretty good having 2
formation teams displaying on one day.
I've visited the American display twice in the last few months. The Blackbird
is impressive, but it's a one-trick wonder. The F111 is the most impressive
machine there, although a Strike Eagle would be a good competitor (there's only
a cockpit of the F15E, not a complete aircraft).
