I did a weekly serial once with a group of people on the CB with each person having the script and broadcasting their lines in turn.
It actually worked really well until a bucket mouth called Adolf came on the air with a set of 5000 watt boots and swamped our traffic.

The Golden Hawks were only around for about five years, weren't they? I wonder how good they were. You mean you've actually seen them? That was back in the late 50's/early 60's. How old are you anyway?

It looks like the Snowbirds might finally share their fate. I really hope not.

Neither do I. I couldn't grow one even if I wanted to. Too much of a baby face I guess.
Ah well.

Have to do something to be considered. It is not all about national pride you know.

Go back and read the first page again then. pbfoot likes them. They're ok, it's just that they're not my personal favourite by a long shot.

don't like snowturds I usually depart airshow when they come on to beat traffic they are good and fly a tight routine its just a boring a/c. Gotta give them credit as they use no support a/c 11 tutors including 1 spare .One pilot and one tech per a/c says loads about ground crew the teams i wish i could see were the raf/rcaf teams in the 30's that flew the routine chained together not sure of raf team name but rcaf guys were called the siskins
