There is an air show in Milwaukee this weekend, featuring the USAF Thunderbirds team. Also the usual sorts of aerobatic acts, the usual military demos, and the Golden Knights parachute team. Also, in the evening, tethered hot air balloons. Lots of fun. And, you know, there is no more patriotic way than a jet demonstration team, flying around in afterburner, to remind us of our dependence on oil imported from more-or-less hostile foreign countries.

These guys are truly amazingly skillful:

Just letting you know, I finally sent off your parcel yesterday - but remember, the letter included was written about a generation ago :-)
