Finnaly got to see the Sky Soldiers today
Posted by Screaminhelo on Saturday, October 11, 2008 8:23 PM

I took the kids to The Great Georgia Airshow today and had a blast!  I loved the Sky Soldiers demo!!!!!  I couldn't help but wonder about those who are not fortunate enough to understand this demo though.  To those uniniated to the wonderful world of whirling chaos, it was not as spectacular as things like the Aeroshell T-6 team.  It is too bad that many who saw it don't understand the skill it takes to do that show.

 I was at the same show. And I agree, that they did put on a good demonstration

One of them flies for us (Omniflight Helicopters) and does the airshows when not on shift. I had a pretty good vantage point, My office is in the trailer at the west end of the ramp.

I was privileged to see their first ever public show (or so I was told) in Ft. Myers, FL back in March 2007.  It was quite a display and they did it in winds that some pilots wouldn't even fly in much less do a precision flight demo.  I too had a great vantage point to see the show, the top of my UH-60L parked on the static display line right next to the US Army recruiting trucks.  It was my last air show in the National Guard before I left the service.   I hope someday I'll get to see them again.
