@spacesailor7: Bit of air-show drama in Houston this year: due to the government shutdown, the iconic US Air Force Thunderbirds were grounded — no jets, no demo teams, no “blew-your-mind” maneuvers. But instead of a let-down… the sky lit up anyway. Enter United Airlines — they grabbed the main-event slot and launched a full-on choreographed demo with one of their jumbo jets. The crowd went wild. ✈️✨ From cancelled military acts to commercial steel cracking the sky — this year proved one thing: when the jets are grounded, the show still flies. #u#unitedairlinesf#flyuniteda#airshowa#airplaneh#houston
