uuuhhh, no. (cause I'm not there ) Can you see it from the porch?

Is it 3-4 P-6s? If so, there are about 6 of them stationed out of Destin. The pilots are all friends and go flying together all the time. For the last 2 years, they've been nice enough to give a little air show for the Seaside half marathon. A couple of the pilots live here in SoWal.

It was grayt, floating in the pool at WaterColor and watching the plans almost crash. The tourists where all excited that they knew about Eglin (that army base nearby :funn.

They were stunt planes, not the old T-6's. Did you see the guys jumping out of the third plane? The pilot in the green plane was incredible. I wonder if they had cameras in the cockpit and if they will youtube them tonight. Now that would be cool. I took some video but from afar, and couldn't see my screen, but I doubt the video captured much of anything. I think Kurt got some footage.

Were those the 3 torch looking things that sort of showed up around 5?

Wow- it was crazy!! I was almost scared to look- they would swoop down or go into a dive and look like they were crashing!

Anybody know if they were intentionally stalling or just cutting the engine?

That had to be intentional!

There are three T-6 Texans based out of Destin. The last time I rented a 172 down there I talked to one of them. One is a contractor and the other is a Dentist. Don't know anything about the third.
