Hey, look--it's a Zero! No, wait, it's a Kate! No, maybe a Dauntless? Or an Avenger?

What do you mean it's an AT-6? WTF is that?
I prefer the piston-powered demos; there's just something about hearing the big radials on Whistling Death or the Flying Fortress flying low overhead. Plus, they move so much slower that they spend more time in good viewing range; the F18s and F16s just have to carry too much airspeed.
FWIW, a friend of mine got to see the Blue Angels when they were still flying A4 Skyhawks, and he said that was a better show--the little hot rod A4s just had more maneuverability and could come in slower so they were in better view longer.
