Dammit, I passed the exit heading to work today, really wanted to go.

I goto school right next to Dobbins and I got to watch them practice for about 1/2 hour.

Back in 2004 they were practicing in the same spot. One guy flew directly over campus and was about 300ft off the ground. Got to see the jet stream up close. Pwnage.

F-15 would make a shitty plane for the Thunderbirds. F-16 is more nimble.

Yeah...and? Those aren't F-15s. Off the top of my head it looks like an SU-27, I'm not an expert though.

They're bigger than the F-16, yet are a more capable aerobatic plane. As such, if that is the only consideration, the Thunderbirds should use them.

And you are correct. They're Su-27s of the Russian Knights (Su-27UBs, to be precise.)
 
Hey Kurayami...

What jet does the Itialian air show team (not sure of their name) use?

My dad took a really awsome photo of them during an airshow here when I was a kid, it's currently at my parents house. But its an amazing shot with an Olympus OM-2 that has amazing res, and is really clear.
