Now...Now West Coast....no since being rude.....be the good gentleman and let our brothers from across the Salt Water Divide enjoy their fun. The BUFF crew did invite this upon themselves....after all....to find yourself performing at an airshow without an audience deserves some critical banter.

After all....they are right...."Over paid, over sexed, and over here!" was true too.....they just never wish to offer the other half of that saying...."The English....under paid, under sexed, and .....under Eisenhower!" I reckon some of the landed gentry of the realm take offense at having to invite USAF aircraft to the airshows.....and understandably so. Without the outsiders...why it would be a very small affair if they had to depend upon the home team to provide its airplane.

Or...is it a leased bird from the USAF.....? I forget.
