How come number 2 takes off as a single seater jet and lands as a two seater jet? Was this filmed over two different days?

[spencerhughes2255]

@kevindickens001 I think there was a problem with Thunderbird #2. This is one demonstration. Filmed this whole video during the Saturday show.

@kevindickens001 actually, if you look carefully, you"ll see that at take off #2 was a 2 seater. They must of swapped planes before they took off.

[spencerhughes2255]

@ECgod77 Yes, Thunderbird #2 did have a problem & swapped planes before take-off.

That part where one jet sneaks up behind the crowd and scares everyone with the loud bang gets me every time. The USAF Thunderbirds came to Guam twice and I watched both shows, and even though I knew it would happen, it still scares me. XD

Thunderbird #2 always the one with technical difficulties. I saw them down in Florida and he had to land mid show.
