Finally, I am able to squeeze this video in at work and never a disappointment. The blues are looking great heading into the new airshow season. Thank you, Mike, for bringing the Blues to us! Your videos knock it out of the park..
The SuperBug doesn't have speed boards like the old legacy did.. It uses a combination of flaps down, ailerons up, rudders in, to create drag. Those little boards on the LEX actually function as trim to stop the 'pitch up' with the rudders toeing in. The really cool thing about the digital flight control system on the Super vs Legacy, is the pilot just tells the FCS what they want, and the controls move to give that response. As an example, no matter the speed of the aircraft, it always has a maximum roll rate of 220 degrees per second. It also makes the slide into the slot easier as Stalin just stands on the rudder, and the FCS moves whatever it needs to in order to give her pure yaw input. The old Legacy would roll couple like crazy with rudder input.

@@dougcronkhite2113 thank you. My question was based on something I read on blogspot titled “A Brief History of U.S.Navy Jet Speed Brakes” It has a picture that shows the E/F in speed brake mode with the rudders toed out. Obviously I’ll defer to your friend. 😊
Hi Mike, great job as always. I’m westbound as we speak and hope to see you tomorrow morning. Early training session? 8A? Lastly you set up near the departure end of runway 12, correct? Thanks again for the great work. -Bill
This is absolutely incredible thanks for. Sharing God bless you all and stay safe
こんばんはあるいはこんにちは！
久しぶりに失礼します。
ようやく落ち着いて見ることができました！
なんだか前回から間が空いたせいなのか、迫力が増したように見えました。
演目も途切れることが無くて圧巻でした！
だんだんとスピーディーで機体同士の間がどんどん近くなって、「これが本場のアクロバットだ！」って感じで興奮しまいました！
本当に素晴らしい動画をありがとうございます😊
I’m a keen observer. I see them getting tighter every practice…. Thanks, Mike.
You're Welcome

Aren’t the rudders towed out vs in when the boards are called for?
@@SeligTiles per a friend who flies it, apparently the FCS can do either depending upon the situation it deems best.

Thanks. There is only one practice Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 2:00. Yes, on the east side of the base.
Nr. 4 still a little left of center on takeoff.
