Under that name, only from commercials.

And after fashion week all hell breaks loose when the UN comes to town.

That's an understatement - cruise speed of 130 knots.

Talk about two aircraft that don't match. I have a good example of that...somewhere in my digital archive I have a shot of Blue Angels 5 and 6 off the wing of Sean D. Tucker in the Oracle biplane. :eek: Hornets looked like they were very much struggling to maintain themselves next to Tucker, who's putt-putting along with a huge :D on his face.

"teh" = "the" ?

After 14 years as a typesetter (in my previous life), I just don't think I can do it.

I don't do such intentionally, but all kinds of typos make it through, I don't really proof read, sometimes I get quoted and do a 'face palm' on stupid typos.

Yummy! You have to use the correct terminology, though - "Newkie Brown" for the Newcastle!

At least when they teamed up over the beach in Atlantic City, which is when I got my shots of it, Tucker seemed to be just cruising along as if he had more power available. The Blues pilots, judging by the smoke system, looked to be doing about the speed that they do on the Section High Alpha pass...maybe 120-130 KIAS. I'll have to go find the photo...they had some flaps and slats cranked in and the nose up a little bit just to hold position.
