They're very keen on decals! Lost count of them, even on their helmets.
They look like the back of a family station wagon, covered in "We've been here" stickers.
Are those two guys on the ground using real hand signals to the pilot? Willie and the hand jive comes to mind. :agree:
Fish eye lens *-) never my favourite camera attachment.
Strained my eyes seeking the Tracey pilots, but they must have been rostered off the Thunderbirds team that day.
Apart from that, it was quite good. :)
The refuelling sequence was interesting.
Do they do aerobatics too? I guess there are lots of restrictions on that, whilst over NYC.
Thanks for the link Brian. :thumbsup:

Fascinating with the on-board cameras. Thanks for posting. :thumbsup:

Still think that the flypast over New York was better last year with the Red Arrows though.!! :lol:
