At the risk of upsetting folks....sending the Red's to the USA would just be a Warm Up Act for the Blues and T-Birds. Frontline aircraft with Afterburners get folks revved up.....classic trainers are well......uh.....old hat.

The Red's do a good show....but so do every other Team in the business.

Sending the BBMF would be a huge Smash Hit if done with the War Bird folks who show off the B-17, B-24, B-25's, 40's, 47's, 51's, 86's!

There is something about the sound of all those Merlins purring....but when them big piston radials go to barking.....we are talking Woody Time!
