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?

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.
