Shot #5 is the most impressive photo I've ever seen of a display team. Nicely captured.

It helped having seats right at the center point of the show

Are the wings actually overlapping?



According to the documentary DVD that I have (I'm a HUGE Blue Angel fan) they should be about 1 meter apart, wing tip to wing tip, during this move.




Spent around $2,000 to see them fly this past weekend, and I have 4 more shows to catch this season... 8-)

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
