SASless, I take your point about the "best". Think I got carried away there. Yes, they are darn good.
Now the Blue Angels in F4s. Very tight formation with 12 inches or less between wingtips. But, on average, they used to lose a crew per year.
Also, point taken about discussing this with the year the Reds have had, Green Flash. But I think this is a completely separate issue. We're talking about a future beyond the tours of the current guys. That said, you are right, we sould be careful what we say.
