It surely did!

I shoulda added that a bunch of us old pilots were semi-affiliated with the Show, and had a hanger on the flight-line well-stocked with refreshments for the visiting Airmen and Crew.

We were on the tower frequency, and knew when the Phantom was 'Cleared for 600'! well, canuckville is metric, and these guys were former US Navy. There's a tad difference between 600 kph and 600 Knots, and it was a sultry day.

I'd never heard 800 car-alarms go off at once.............FRegards
