Love that retro viper paint job!
This is some awesome panning. Nicely done!
US demo team will be flying in Belgium next month. But they’ll be flying a local USAFE Viper. Would be cool if they fly the retro over…
Oshkosh was a whole new experience for me, loved it there, whole other ballgame than i’m used to at regular airshows…

Hey Roel! Welcome aboard. Sweet Raptor shot. Would love to see that demo again. From the looks of it in videos it looks a bit more aggressive than back in the day.

That was a great line up, glad they got the black A-10 up on their last day there
RaZZ was my hight light for my first Oshkosh adventure, especially during the evening Flights

Finally got a chance to see Black Mamba, the former IN ANG Black Snakes A-10 which the A-10 demo team kept as it. Had a brake problem on Monday when it taxied out and had to go back for the camo bird.
Wed was their last day and she was up and running.

Oooh! That looks great. Somehow I completely missed this paint job, first time I see it.
