My point was that they fly a very easy, stable platform, not a low power jet. I have more respect for the Brazilians flying Tucanos. Those guys fly 100 times harder than any of the jet teams...they really have to know how to fly, manage energy...everything. It's so much easier in a jet...especially ''Grannies Lil Trainer''.
Wanna see some real men? Watch ''Threshold, a Blue Angles Experience'' (clips are on Youtube) back when the Blues flew F-4s. They flew closer then than they do now...much closer then the Reds do and what a show they put on. They flew front line hardware...not leftovers from Training Command.

I am glad you got my point that the Red Arrows do all they do without all that power.
I seem to remember a competition between all the top nations jet aerobatic teams a couple of years ago and the teams and others voted............ Guess what the red arrows won.
Your comment 'Real men' makes me smile. So you think flying a jet where you are trained by the tax payer and the plane is paid for by the tax payer makes you a real man........... So how does that work. It is the year 2010 you know do wise up
