Have any of the hot shot fighter guys ever considered putting together a virtual aerobatic team for demonstration?
VFAT is an annual event where a bunch of jet guys from sims such as Falcon and Lock On do these amazing aerobatic formation flying demonstrations like the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels...
I was just wondering if any guys from AH have ever tried to form an aerobatic demonstration team with the intent to put on what in essence is a virtual air show...
Curious,

Here is a you tube video on team Berkuts at VFAT 2009 flying Migs (I think)....on their field arrival demonstration....this is an East Bloc team...

Sounds about as fun as flying bombers... No thanks.

Sol75 was trying to get me into it. It seems like alot of work to get it down well so I wouldnt be able to commit to it.

It would be interesting to put together 3-4 guys and even see how much time it took to fly a perfect diamond loop in 38's or 51's ...
I think that pilots with bomber experience might even be some of the best guys to try this out...seeing as the serious buff guys take a great deal of pride in flying tight formations...and most fighter guys just love to kill crap and rack up kills...
I would love to see a perfect diamond of 51's do a barrel roll or loop over a field with smoke on as viewed from the tower in F3 ~ F8...
I am not suggesting its a good idea or worth a spit...
I was just curious if any guys have actually tried this....

Formation aerobatics is a lot of fun if you can get get 4 people with compatible connections, otherwise you might see a guy 60 yards away while he sees you at 30 yards. We've also had one person jumping up and down about 10 yards while the other 3 are smooth. I don't think AH allows you to stay as close as LOMAC does. If you can hold 20 yards through a loop with one other aircraft you're doing pretty good. Smoke in AH is so thick and short that I think you look better with it off.
The Berkuts smoke writing is awesome but I do prefer the Virtual Blue Angels. :airplane:

The Skeleton Crew fiddled with the airshow idea way way back (late '90's I think). We discovered you need everyone 100% committed, this is not something you can half-arse (I don't have the vid anymore but it would have had you ROFL). Definitely for those into precision flying who like turning up on time and doing the same thing over and over again.
If anyone works out how to gatecrash their show put me down for the first wave. Imagine that.....
"Ladies und gentlemens pleez velcome Team Berkut.... ahhh vot is zis? Who are this guys in Me262's? Achhh they attack our Team Berkut!! Noooooooooooo...... oh the humanity!"
show ponies hehehe
