How many times in that article did he say they aren't rock stars, you know the more someone says something isn't true the more likely it is to be. Haha they are defiantly rock stars, I heard some great stories and how base commanders all the way up to admirals will and do bend over backwards for the demo teams, a lot of time just to get to fly in that second seat, but dinners and autographs, pictures with the families and even extended families. Really awesome in my book, even though I grew up a mile from Partick Air Force Base in FL, so I'm a Thunderbird guy at heart
