    Notice how they’re all looking at the “plane” next to them in the diamond formation based on wherever their position is…. I’ve told people that when they’re in the diamond they are NOT looking forward and are looking at the aircraft 18” away from their cockpit to the side (or wherever). This is amazing to see.

      They do occasionally tour Europe, but the schedule out to 2022 shows all domestic and Canadian dates. Check the website, as they post the schedule there. The 2023 schedule should be out by fall, if I recall correctly. For sure by the first of each year, you can see the next two seasons schedules. I know it probably won't make you feel any better, but I'll be seeing them a week from today.

      I met them and talked to flight lead and he told me they don't wear G-lock suits. So they are pulling G's while doing these maneuvers because the stick is in the middle of their legs and can't risk having G-suit inflating and messing them up
