I don't think we will ever see the Four Horsemen again, but it might look something like this...

Bring back the Four Horsemen. That's the first good idea I've heard in a long time.

Eight fewer prop blades and that would be a sweet pic ;)

Now what exactly is the Four Horsemen?

They're like the Thunderbirds, only heavier, but that's so that they can carry their b@lls around (I mean COME ON! (sts) FINGERTIP IN A HERC!!!)

I thought you were talking about these dudes:

I never thought I'd say this, but I hope the Irish win Saturday...

That's funny right there!

:D

I saw the Js leading the T-Birds all over the city before the airshow. CH where did you get the pic?

I wonder what the public would think about a C-130 formation demo team. I don't know that they'd appreciate it all that much. Big planes, no matter how close together, at 200-250 KIAS just isn't as cool to the average person as small planes making lots of noise at 300-500 KIAS. You'd have to explain to them why it's so neat.

Rocker,

I remember seeing a USAF C-130 demo at an airshow a few years ago. It really did look impressive; a lot of tight turns and other sorts of maneuvers that the general public would never think of a C-130 doing.

I thought it was pretty cool, but I don't know what a non-flyer would think.

If you read the linked article regarding the Four Horsemen, you'd find that more often that not the crowd responded much better to them than even the T-Birds. I was impressed by that. I'm sure it was an awesome sight. The article also mentions old film of them in action...think anyone might be able to dig that up? M2, I've thrown down the gauntlet!

Here at the school house there's a little room where you can watch all kinds of videos, one of which is a five minute deal on the Four Horsemen. It's definitely very cool and impressive stuff, but I'm just thinking about public interest. Don't get me wrong though, I wouldn't be going to get another hamburger when they go on!

Clinton Presidential Library? You mean the Double-Wide by the River?

Don't believe me? Look at it next time you take the bridge from LR to NLR (or back)... looks just like a double-wide trailer.

Y'all have a great weekend.

Cheers!

It took awhile but, Google to the rescue.

HD, that was great! Looks like Bill has herpes (see upper lip in top photo).

Unrelated note, I see Bender has decided to drop in. We missed your smart ass.

They should have had a photo with just three of the T-birds, to represent a cross section of the Clinton rape of the military during his historic presidency.
