Colorado ANG A-7 Demonstration Team REDEYE 1 1

Digging through some old tapes and found some video for the Rockford Airfest 1991. The group from what I've learned (please correct me if I'm wrong) was a Colorado ANG group flying the A-7 from the mid-late 80's through early 90's called Redeye 1 1. Their display was great, including pyro and flares (something us in the US dont get to see much if ever). I think it was a great thing to see a US military jet demonstartion team that wasn't the Blue or T-Birds (not that there's anything wrong with them just different). If anyone happens to have more info on these guys please let me know.

HAHA...I think am in the video. I am the little red head dude at 43 secs into the vid. Looks like the glasses I use to wear. Great show! Loved how the Top Gun soundtrack was used for almost every military demo in the late 80's through mid 90's. It's sad to know our children won't see Jets like this at airshows. The A-7, F-14...ect. Ahh the good old days :: laughs ::

Haha, this is great I was there! My Dad has the exact same footage from the exact same place by the nose of the KC-10. It was a great show!

Those SAM simulators are actually in there (theyre just hard to see on the down sampled video). Thanks for sharing that Full Auto!

I worked pyro at that show with Rich's Incredible Pyro. It was a CO ANG A-7D group. We worked a lot of shows with them over the years. The CO was/is Col. John "Buck" Buckingham. They transitioned into F-16s not long after that show. The cool thing that the video didn't show was we shot some SAM simulators, little rockets that left a big white smoke trail. It was a great show.
