There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

You better go watch. They got lame for about ten years, but this year the incoming commander really amped things up. They perform a loop on takeoff right now. Mind you, not like the blue angels where they must gather speed; the thunderbirds go directly into a loop after they rotate.

Yes those guys are great. In all the years I worked Wings Over Houston the Thunder Birds were the best. Also much easier to work with than the Blue Angels.

I've heard it the other way around; you've got me intrigued. Please do tell.

Well, for example, for the Blue Angels to fly at Wings over Houston we had to have white makings on both sides of the runway. Their minimum weather requirements for flying were much stricter than the Thunderbirds. Each pilot had to have his own car. And they just seemed more aloof than the Thunderbirds. But they put on a good show.
