The Patriots are a civilian team. They flew at sunset, going in front of the setting sun several times. Could not catch them on the red clouds as they were pretty far and it was hard to focus on them. Looks cool, though.
Info from the program: After painstaking restoration by the Airshows America team, The Patriots’ four L-39 jets were modified for use on the air show circuit with upgraded avionics systems for navigation and communications, removal of excess weight for better air show performance, addition of a 25 gallon smoke oil system, and removal of their previous paint scheme. Sponsored by Fry's Electronics, the Patriots L-39s have electrified spectators with fast-paced formation flying and their signature "Tail Slide" maneuver where the aircraft actually slides backwards toward the ground, something you will not see from any other jet demonstration team.
My build from FateHeart's instructions. Patriot-Custom Squad Leader Skullcrusher w/ Beam Sabre. Thanks for all the insight, buddy. Love this guy! Working on a jungle artillery variant already, and some armaments. (seriously used ALL of my available modified 1x1 bricks in dk. grey.)
It had the distinct pleasure of shooting the Swallow family in May of 2009. What a beautiful family! Thank you Mark for your bravery, loyalty, and sacrifice!

Charleston is the largest city in the U.S. state of South Carolina, the county seat of Charleston County, and the principal city in the Charleston–North Charleston metropolitan area. The city lies just south of the geographical midpoint of South Carolina's coastline on Charleston Harbor, an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean formed by the confluence of the Ashley, Cooper, and Wando rivers. Charleston had a population of 150,277 as of the 2020 U.S. Census. The 2020 population of the Charleston metropolitan area, comprising Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester counties, was 799,636 residents, the third-largest in the state and the 74th-largest metropolitan statistical area in the United States.
Charleston was founded in 1670 as Charles Town, honoring King Charles II, at Albemarle Point on the west bank of the Ashley River (now Charles Towne Landing) but relocated in 1680 to its present site, which became the fifth-largest city in North America within ten years. It remained unincorporated throughout the colonial period; its government was handled directly by a colonial legislature and a governor sent by Parliament. Election districts were organized according to Anglican parishes, and some social services were managed by Anglican wardens and vestries. Charleston adopted its present spelling with its incorporation as a city in 1783. Population growth in the interior of South Carolina influenced the removal of the state government to Columbia in 1788, but Charleston remained among the ten largest cities in the United States through the 1840 census.
Charleston's significance in American history is tied to its role as a major slave trading port. Charleston slave traders like Joseph Wragg were the first to break through the monopoly of the Royal African Company and pioneered the large-scale slave trade of the 18th century; almost one half of slaves imported to the United States arrived in Charleston. In 2018, the city formally apologized for its role in the American Slave trade after CNN noted that slavery "riddles the history" of Charleston.
Known for its strong tourism industry, in 2016 Travel + Leisure Magazine ranked Charleston as the best city in the world.
