Usaf F-15

I thought the F-15 demo was great, I haven't seen that many people laughing simultaneously for a long time!

Sounded like he watched far too many G.I.Joe adverts when he was young, the only thing missing was the 'Team America' theme song on their soundtrack

Note that it was a tape recording for US airshow audiences, so patriotic it was embarrasing

Also note that 2 F-22 Raptors were due down but cancelled by the organizers at the last minute...rumour is they didn't want F-22s showing up the Surper-Bugs now that the RAAF have purchased 24 of em'. Don't quote me on that one however....

The 4-ship FA-18 formation was good, the F-111 was great (as always) and the Italian Spartan was very impressive for an aircraft of that size, but I agree with above comments that something different is needed.
