Does anyone else remember the Canadian F-104 display team (Red Indians?) at Biggin Hill c.1978 or 79? The display itself was awesome, but the commentator was wonderful as well. He had a dead-slow down-home oh-my-gosh-look-at-that style which had the crowd in stitches.
"Well, folks, if you, er, if you just, er, kind of, er, look to your right, you'll see an F-104 coming along real slow. He's got the flaps out and the gear down, nice and slow and . . . (thunderous roar as a second F-104 passes at same level but the other way at 0.999M) . . . Oh, sorry folks, I guess I forgot to mention that one".
Halcyon days.
