Hello all I am still alive and well it is that if I have nothing to say then I do not say it ! Yes I was once the ALM on a squadron display team for a season. I have mentioned a couple of trips in the earlier posts. The problem with the Falcons was that sometimes they thought they owned the a/c. As I pointed out to one team leader they only 'control' the a/c in the last few minutes before the drop. As Alcazares has said they had developed some very bad habits including setting off their smoke canisters well before the drop. Not only was it toxic but it stained the inside of the a/c and I was told was not aluminiums best friend.
