F11 just makes it full screen and back to regular screen.

In reply to Platinum90:

Press F11 and hold it down.

Just shakes the crap out of the screen like it is an earthquake or something............

Oh, I see what you did there..............

Beautiful pic, but please tell me that's somebody off the catapult, instead of someone who's missed the barricade...

FGC, the arresting hook on the F18 is retracted; it's a pretty safe bet the shot came on take-off.

BTW, are you getting any fly-overs from Wings Over Atlanta, today? I'm kinda bummed because the east side of town has been ignored - no activity at all, even for practice sessions. Past years have spoiled me.

It works for me and Opus, so I'm not certain as to "why".

Most likely, a cat shot. Less likely, a touch and go. Not a bolter, but bolters make cool sparks.

I have worked in the Marietta/Dobbins area and Iove seeing my tax dollars at work!

First time I saw the Blue Angels at Dobbins, they were using these:

Anyone who sees the Blue Angels or Thunderbirds and isn't overwhelmed, is dead or worse. That doesn't include zombies, cause even zombies know they can't compete.

1954 Stanguellini 750 Sport

Skyhawks forever.

After seeing the angels practicing on Thursday afternoon, a co-worker said "I'm glad they are on our side!"

I saw this formation today while sitting at the burger shop on Windy Hill. I could have sworn they were no more than 6 feet apart.

In reply to Appleseed:

In the Corps I was a flight captain with Skyhawks. Very pretty little jet but obsolete by the time I was playing with them. Was once banned from the cockpit, had a little problem with too heavy a throttle on testing. Pure thrust porn. Semper Fi

Trainer

Our guys have to make do with antiques, but they still do a good show.

Streetwise beat me to it, I've seen the Snowbirds and Blue Angels perform together at 3 separate shows over the past 25 years. Hands down, the Snowbirds are far more interesting. Keeping track of that many planes in formation, doing what they do? Mind boggling.
