Interesting info on the Red Arrows site, MB. Those pilots have got to be hot potatoes to do the stuff they do.

The Blue Angels aren't supposed to fly through the 'canyons' but they have. They also do a lot of buzzing over the City. I'm not sure if there's been enough recent complaining that they have stopped. But my OH said that when she worked in the Financial District, she once got to look down into the cockpit of one.

I got buzzed while on a desert ridge once, on a geology field trip. There was an Air Force base nearby, and they trained in the area. I didn't hear the jet until it was over me (about 50 feet up!!). Thank goodness I didn't wet myself.
