The first 3 minutes are the highlights, for me...

2 questions:
1) Where do they source parts for 40+ y/o airframes? Lotsa "moving parts" that need replacing on "variable geometry" aircraft, regularly.
2) What daflock is "Red Bull" advertising to them for. I guess you can get overcaffeinated as long as the "stimulation" is "Ayotollah approved."

Remember, Shah Reza Pahlavi bought those planes. In 1979 I was working for a sub contractor on the weapon control system for the 600 F 18's he ordered. Unfortunately my job went away with him. Fortunately the Khakamami didn't get them. Joe

Bigger question: Why does one of the biggest state sponsors of terrorism for the past 40-odd years still have an air force?

To provide targets for our military?

I've never wished for a mid-air at an air show...until now !! It seems they didn't put much flight time on the F-4's and F-14's. Wonder why.

I like pharmer's twist on the Ayatollah's name.

Not many ladies in attendance. Me thinks most of those planes will not be flying next year.
