Better questions is who is going to be broadcasting it on Ustream?

Just in case anyone wants to see how crazy awesome these pilots are, check this out. Took this of one of the Black Diamond jets over a year ago at the Lauderale air show. Not that these guys are going to be there before, but The Bled did see them in Universal earlier.

How many jets were there???? 1 or 3?????

So, are those black diamond jets merely retired US Military jets? Where does one go to purchase those?

On the purple note, I wouldn't be surprised if they had a few jets repainted for this GO. Big money talks.

Too, what is the significance of purple when it comes to TF?

I believe most of them are retired armed service members. The planes are private jets the team owns, not sure where they bought them from. If memory serves me correctly they were used planes that they fully restored.

I think its the smoke that was purple, thats how it looked on Universal's video. Maybe just a purple color for more of a dramatic effect

Another screen shot i got

it will be interesting to those who ride rocket tomorrow to let us know what, if anything, is being set up on the roof of TF. ie pyro

2 in tandem.

Could have been the smoke. I must admit I'm not good with seeing colors, and it was very tough with the sun.

Watching the video again, the only time i notice and purple is when the jets fly directly overhead and whoever video taped got a purple lens flare when they followed the planes thru the sun. The rest of the time the smoke looked white as it normally does.

Who all will be there thursday?
