Only time we got to see the Snowbirds was at Dayton in '03. Loved 'em. After the show, the pilots came up to the fence line to talk to the spectators. The one who came to stand in front of us is about 5' 5". I'm 6' 6". that plus the fact the I was standing on the crest of the little rise and he was standing in the ditch. It had to appear that either I was 8'+ tall or he was 4' zip.....I guess ya' had to be there.
