I got confirmation that the T birds will be based at ISP with either a C130 or a C17 as their support a/c.
Any word on if the F-18 will still be based out of FRG? I just recently moved to the area and I'm bummed the T-birds won't be staying here this year.
Know it's a requirement for the Thunderbirds, but why do they need arresting gear? They don't have hooks right?
All of the fighters have the hook. On the F-16 it looks like a lipstick on a wire. F-15's, you name it. They can not land on a carrier as it would probably not be sufficent strength and will probably break. But if it held it would likey Screw the airframe so it will never fly again.
The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".
