We saw them in the 70’s at DuPage County Airport in the far western Chicago suburbs.

They were flying the A-4 Skyhawk then.

The best show was away from the flight line and in the industrial park where they were making low altitude “U” turns.

I never believed anyone could fly that low, that fast and in such a tight formation.

Let’s hope for the best.....

It’s an amazing show!

We always were treated to the practice days and then the shows on the weekend. Not much work got done during those practice days.

I was fortunate to see one of the last A-4 shows. Cool-looking little hot rods. I remember the lead pilot being interviewed on the local news. He said he would miss using the A-4, and said it had the highest roll rate in the inventory.
