Tiny indeed. Too bad they don’t make appearances at airshow in the US. I’ve been wanting to see the Snowbirds for along time now. I missed out a chance back in the 80s.

This year at the Great Pacific Airshow in Huntington Beach we had three aerobatic teams: The Snowbirds, The Red Arrows, and The Thunderbirds. Plus demonstrations by A-10, F-35, and a Super Hornet.... and a good mix of vintage warbirds, civil aircraft, and of course, some free fall parachute teams. A damn good show.

That’s my kind of airshow, Carlos.

Was finishing this up this morning and lost the nose probe to the carpet monster. Stretching some sprue to build another
