Used to work on Carlingview and I'd swear the dam planes seemed to be within 15 ft. from hitting the hotel roof next to us.

You know the tittle of this thread is "snow birds"....but you know the snow birds don't fly fighter jets.

They fly old trainer jets from the 1960's hence the recent malfuntioning seat strap and crash a while back.

These old trainers are quite pathetic and the snow birds should be flying REAL fighter jets like the blue angels. (I think they fly f-18 hornets currently...).

When I went on my honeymoon last october, we went down to virginia beach, where there are alot of naval and airforce bases. Every day there were f-16's f-18's and I'm pretty sure I saw an f-22 raptor once or twice, flying around everywhere....yes they are rediculously, insanely loud.


Awsome stuff. I must go up in a ride in a modern fighter jet before I die!

^ They have an f-22 in toronto for the air show. Its actually in the sky today flying around. You can tell its one from the different manouvers they can do and they style. The F-22 is super loud thou.... it cant go to fast due to noise violations I believe.
