    Funny, I just finished a poster of low passes at farmningdale for the last 4 years airshows!!! I finished it 10 min ago!

    Florida for the takeoff and California for the blues high speed pass rippling the water

    San Fransisco for the low pass in 08' I think. The takeoff was from last season.

    What a crock - the KC-135 low pass was only #2? Anyone can do that stuff in a fighter, it takes massive gonads to do that in a tanker!

    Sir I think you're a bit biased! I was happy to see a few -16's in the mix.

    Isn't the 135 about the same size as a fighter? :lol:

    I like the Blue Angel (last one) best. Aesthetically, it's striking. Did you shoot those videos?

    Two more, although I'm not sure if they fall in the same current/active military and high speed categories of the OP:

    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.
