Cool - like the Blue Angles....

Remember the Video Game thread? I posted that screenshot from a "virtual dogfight"? Well , here is the "Virtual Blue Angles", using the same game, LO-MAC. So if you like the airshows that much, further P.O. your bride and get into online flight simulations :hee:

Yeh - though the game they use in the video has mods and these guys are not exactly sim rookies. I'm sure their machines are high end X2 SLI rigs too

Took a Blue Angel pilot striper fishing a few years back. He kept backlashing his conventional. I gave him a hard time telling him he could fly upside down but couldn't cast straight. Great guy - met quite a few military pilots over the years - I'm always in awe of what they do.
