How to stop the Air Show, just show up in your brand new ME-262, and watch jaws drop!

That reminds me of when I attended the Tulsa air show many years ago. There were quite a few military planes on static display. I noticed their crews were basically standing around looking bored, even when the Thunderbirds performed.

There was a P-51 which I think had been restored by Rockwell. When it was performing, I noted all the military pilots were sitting on their planes watching intently.

There is a cheaper way to make jaws drop. You build a kit, Fiesler Stork, and show up at an Air Show.

That can be done for about $20K plus engine cost.

As much as I love the F-16, I hate to say this, but the Thunderbirds are boring. The Blue Angles are the the ones to watch. Those guys really know how to fly and put on a show!
