The videos below were shot at the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base in Fort Wort, Texas. They were recorded on a Sony digital camcorder and transferred via IEEE-1394 (aka Apple FireWire and Sony i-link), and digitally edited on a Pentium home computer. Most of the audio that you'll hear will be the pilots themselves. This is beacuse a millitary band scanner was held near the mic of the camcorder for the duration of the show. You will hear reference to each of the individual pilots callsigns. They are: Boss, Hamster, Scooter, Banker, and Judge.

Enjoy.

(Ya, I hate Real too.  
I encoded these videos in RealMedia back in 2000..  before I knew any better. 
I wish there was a good way to convert them back to a standard Mpeg format.)
