Papafox is a Captian for TWA and acro plane owner,HiTech owner and founder of Aces High, RareBear former TWA captain (and one of the best Reno Air Racers in History) and lil ol me went up to do a show. These are some of the pictures from that gathering. It was a fun meeting.. my arm is still tired!  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Snafu,
Thats a great thread.. I must have been sleepin or out of town! The Idea of having an airshow would be fun. I think if a group or a solo act could work up a films and send it to HTC or Airshow co-ordinator. They could review them first for content and time and set up a show day. Comments could be done in Blue be an official announcer in the buffer during the show. After the routine the buffer could be open for spectator comments, etc. All spectators might watch the show and have F3 viewing capabilites in the arena. There could be Airshow Smoke and maybe even an Air Race Day!   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) I have worked on routines for years in WB and AH with Papafox and others and would love to do this. I'm sure it would strenghten formation flying in the arena and may add a new demension(which is really already there) to the game.

These are some old pictures I dug up from some practice sessions with Papafox and Rarebr (RareBear) in Warbirds taken a couple of years ago. Note the Airshow smoke we had in the practice arena. It would be cool if we had multiple colors (keys)in Aces High Practice Arena that could be programed on throttles. That way went Leader calls Smoke On...(whatever sequence) you could get different patterns in the routine!... Just some more stuff to look at and think about  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
