Finally, a vette that has a theme which actually incorporates the "scissor doors" as "wings", not a wannabe 20 year old Lambo. Great looking car, thanks for sharing OP.

I'm a huge fan of the Blue Angels. Great car.

I took this shot from the beach, handheld, at the Jones Beach Air Show a few years ago.

I saw the wing right away brother, but was waiting for the Corvette purists to chime in with "ah, absolutely ghastly, this is why I will never buy a ZR1". Shocking though, not one comment bashing the spoiler yet.

As far as I'm concerned, it's a theme car and it's very well done all around. And anything that brings attention to our REAL American heros who risk their lives for the rest of us, I love.

Great tribute! I remember seeing them in the 50’s at Bolling Field in DC. Might have been Panther jets then! Loved ‘em them; love’em now!
