Fuel usage? Burn it if you got it Angels. I've never left one of their shows, or the Thunderbirds too for that matter, without goosebumps and a chill up my backbone, screaming "Hell yeah!" and damn happy those machines and pilots are on our side.

I was at the airshow in Salinas, Ca a few weeks back. They had two Hornets there. They took them right up to the sound barrier. You could see the cone form around the aircraft. It was the coolest thing I have every seen.

The best sound was the F-15 flying over with the afterburners on.

No doubt about that. I saw the Thunderbirds on Labor Day weekend and it is impressive. Between that and mock bombing runs that shook my car, I'm glad that we're not on the receiving end.

It was the RAAF (Australia) who worked out why the F-111 dump valve was located between the afterburner exhausts
Never fails to impress
