Dale "Snort" Snodgrass
F-86 Sabre

2002 NAS Oceana Airshow
NAS Oceana, Virginia
Saturday September 21, 2002

Snort flies the AT&T-sponsored F-86 Sabre over NAS Oceana.  Take note of how VERY LOW Snort flies his opening pass - he tells me his wingtip was no more than ten feet off the ground in this pass, which is usually lower than he traditionally flies.  He also states that he "wasn't that low" and that it was perfectly safe to fly that low.  Please do not mention in your comments that this kind of flying is reckless - it is not.  Snort and every other aerobatic pilot reiterate that their performances are well-practiced before each airshow as well as during the off-season.  Each pilot knows where the line is, so to speak, and perform their routines in a way to not cross that line.  I apologize for the poor audio tracking in this video.
