Understand, but hell imagine the extra heart throb when they go vertical pushing the throttle completely forward!
Not quite vertical, however ...

I know, as I meantioned the F18, that came to mind. Ya gotta do with what you got. I am sure you two posters are damn proud of your military. I know you wish it was much more then the socialist raped down, but you have a proud history stand tall.
Semper Fi.

"Tudor" Might not be the CF-18, but better than the Four-Door. ;-)

I'm sure they can smoke when not going to vertical.

CF-18's would be cool but I'm not sure they could
pull of 9 plane formations safely in those. If they ever
replace them they will probably go the the trainer jets used in Canada. They are nicknamed mini F-18's but I can't
remember the actual name. Cool planes though.

Do the Blue Angels perform a 9 plane formation?
To: NorthOf45
I've only seen their show once and it was with
4 planes. I may be wrong but I think the Snowbirds
are one of the only teams in the world performing with
9 planes.
To: Marine_Uncle
I'm not a Canuck.
To: NorthOf45
The Blue Angels currently have 11 jets: Numbers 1 through 6, 2 two-seat (#7) jets and 3 spare jets. The show is flown with six, plus the KC-130 Fat Albert. #7 is a two seat B that's used to give demo rides to the press, etc.
To: A.A. Cunningham
Thank you for your service Marine. How many years?
Assume you where stationed at Cherry Point.
