Oh come on now.

You honestly think that when the Blue Angels were formed - in 1946 - that the Navy thought; 'Gee, let's make them the color of the Soviet Republic of Ukraine.'?

I HIGHLY doubt it.


Personally, formation flying bores me. Yeah - I know it takes TONS of skill and is potentially really dangerous. So is standing on your head for days...but I don't care much for that either.

I far prefer it when a single, high performance fighter goes blasting all over the skies at a show...turning the afterburners on and off and just showing off.

Now THAT is cool.

And I am not the only one who thinks that.

There was an airshow at an airport near me and while all the formation stuff was going on, people kept driving around, doing their thing. But at the end, this single F/A-18 just started going crazy - blasting all over the airfield grounds at really high speeds.
I can tell you, almost every car on the roads near the airport pulled over and people got out to watch it.
