Next, she is making the female-pilot sign for:  "wanna hook up for dinner and drinks later?"

Hey!  Melissa is wearing a Liquid Sky jump suit!  I know the cute couple, Juilio and his wife, who owns that company - met them while skydiving at "The Farm" in Atlanta about 2 years ago.  Great people!  Good to see their product out there!

Nice shots all -- dig that last T-bird shots Eddie with the afterburners... and Bernardo, nice catch on what looks like the sneak pass from Saturday? (and cool to meet you, too, Sun) I saw it coming Sunday, but wasn't ready for it and couldn't get the camera to focus in time  I kept quiet though and boy, did it scare the heck out of the people around me  I was right on the corner to the right of the T-bird hot ramp.

Couple of mine from Sunday's T-bird show -- anyone know why the big delay at the start, I assume some mechanical difficulties with #6 -- we couldn't hear the PA where I was.

That was a normal start time. They do all their pre flight stuff on the ramp un-like the Blue Angels.

[Steve K]

Yeah, I know about the pre-flight routine thanks -- but the delay between the takeoff of the first four and the last two is what I'm talking about, actually. After #6 took off (or at least made its takeoff run, I never did see it lift off...) there was a huge delay as the first four made several circuits of the airbase (very high up) and number 5 sat on the runway in its takeoff postion.

Number 6 rolled up again and took off again, followed by 5 -- looked like they had to go to the spare or something. It was a similar delay to the birdstrike I saw at Mather last year when they had to land 5 I believe and swap the pilot over to the spare.

#6 had a mechanical and switched to a spare....................
