I would love to see the Horsemen Sabre 3-ship as well but I will be quite happy to "settle" for the P-38/P-51 routine at Chino next month! :)

I would like to see this team. I am not much for the L39's either, Black Diamond changed that for me. It could be Snort's driving that helps too :D I like the fast with the slower, makes a nice mix and you appreciate the speed of the Mig more. Anyhow, I hope Red Steel can do something similar, but I hope its only better than their youtube video :shock:

Anyone seem them live?

Wasn't aware of any video. They've not flown any shows yet, so there's not really anything to "review". Their first show is Dyess next weekend. The video is just a compilation of "stock" video, not really representative of the actual act which from what I understand is similar to what the Black Diamonds do but with a MiG-23 "go fast" instead of the MiG-17.

Is that why the great new england airshow doesn't have either the angels or thunderbirds this year?
