Interesting to see "old style" non digital stop watch in Angels cockpit.
When seconds count they don't rely on batteries and lights. :)

The Thunderbirds/Blue Angels are scheduled to flyover Dallas/Houston/and more Sat, May 9th.

Now hearing it might be Tuesday May 5 for the above flight.

Houston will have a flyover by WWII era planes Friday, May 8th. Taking off from Ellington at 11:45am. Route is Ellington, San Jacinto Monument, University of Houston, Downtown, Memorial Park, National Cemetery, Cypress, Cinco Ranch, Mission Bend, Energy Corridor, West University Place, Bellaire, Missouri City, Pearland, Alvin, Friendswood, Dickinson, and then back to Ellington at 1:15. I'd bet many won't land at EFD, but head off to theur home fields. Planes scheduled include everything from trainers to a B-25.

Violating aircraft 'social distancing'? :smilelol5: At least they were wearing their masks. ;-)

Volating social distancing? No, I would say that they are about 6ft from each other. πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

Yea, it is neat seeing the concentration at work, throttling with left back and forth to maintain the speed while making sure to stay positioned properly. Awesome.

Typical. Air Force needed a day off.

Are they scheduled to fly over Rocksprings?
