Tell that to the Snowbirds and previous versions of our air force aerobatic teams who have been doing just that since 1954.

You mean these?

"The Snowbirds fly at speeds between 100 knots (190 km/h) and 320 knots (590 km/h), with a separation between aircraft of 1.8 metres (5.9 ft) in many of the formations. When two aircraft perform head-on passes, they aim to be about 10 metres (33 ft) apart.[12]"

6 feet? Compared to 6 inches?

~SNERK!~

Girly "men". :)

~snerk~ indeed.

We have a saying in Florida about snowbirds.

If it's snowbird season, why can't we shoot them?

:)
During snowbird season, the waitstaff in the local restaurants have to live off ramen noodles. The "nadians don't tip them enough to be able to afford a cheeseburger. Tight-assed *******s.

I can't imagine maintaining that distance from another plane's wingtip
while doing an inverted roll at over 300 mph.

I have a tough enough time keeping a Cessna 172 going straight down
the runway during takeoff.

Very cool.Â* Those wingtips get unbelievably close at times.


I got a kick out of the guy sitting behind the pilot. I turned the
camera around backwards to watch him during the maneuvers in one of
the times I watched it. He just sits there with his cell phone
taking pictures as if he's out for a Sunday drive in the country.

Are those the guys who do tight manouvouers with cessnas? Hope I
used enough vowels for you kanookastainians.

I’ve never seen the Blue Angles, but have seen the USAF Thunderbirds a couple times. Fantastic precision air works!

Well, Well!
Looks like all y'all southern boys use the same joke writer as the regular guy for your humour.
Our Snowbirds are well respected in their displays and entertain without being careless. Plus their little Tudor planes look better painted with Canada's colours.

I haven't flown in a long time so please help me out with my memory.
Do you maintain directional control on the runway with foot pedals and
the rudder?

Yes, at least on the small planes. I have never flown anything other
than high wing Cessna's and low wing Piper Warriors.

As you are pretty much uneducated and ignorant, you wouldn't know the
British and Canadian spelling of the word is manoeuvre. The origin of
the word is French. Crikey, you don't even know how to spell "Canuck,"
do you? I suppose when you went into the naveee after high school,
they'd take anyone, no matter how stupid. There's no other explanation
for your entrance into that branch of the service.
