I saw the snowbirds back in the '80s.  Very graceful.  Not as showy as the T-birds or blue angels, but they were so STATELY.  Were a LOT of fun to watch.  Looks like they are still flying the Canadair Tudors right?

The average pilot, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else.

Yeah I saw the snowbirds last year in Reno.  Excellent show, I liked the graceful flying a lot better then the show off attitude of the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels.

I've always had a soft spot for trainers, as it is.  The Tudors are great looking planes.

It kind of reminds me of a DreamCast game I have called Aerowings.  It doesn't have a Tudor in it, though.  This game is basically an airshow game using all of the planes in Japan's Air Force, is my guess.

I don't think the flight dynamics are that realistic.  In that game, I can get into the F-15 and go vertical to 40,000 ft.  Once there, I level off, gain speed, and go vertical again.  Once on the second zoom, I don't stop until 100,000 ft.  Once the game's ceiling is reached, the F-15 just falls until about 30,000 ft, when I can get control again.  In spite of being unrealistic, the game is hard to beat for fun factor.
