In a recent post I expressed my opinion that the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk (for which one of our own members, "Tracker," was a carrier-based pilot) was one of the most beautiful aircraft designs ever produced, right up there with the Spitfire and the P-51 Mustang. During the period 1974-86, the A-4F Skyhawk II was the plane flown by the Navy Flight Demonstration Team (the "Blue Angels"). Here is a video of "Blues in A-4s":

Good info there, RS and nice video! :)

MAN.............I'm dizzy after watching that preformance ???

Thanks RS. Great to watch. Another of my favorites (although not as good to look at) is the F4U Corsair. I have seen them at the local airshow a couple of times up flying with the P-51's and I get goosebumps just thinking about them.
