I've never been to an airshow, but would love to see one some day. Amazing what they do. Upside down, past one another about 780 mph, flying so close together, and at times upside down. Yowza. I think those folks have practiced a bit. And are incredible, and incredibly brave.
Love the old planes and new. And the big C-5 doesn't even look like it could fly. You did a great job putting this together, and really know your stuff about planes. Thanks for the cool whole story of going to the show. Some day I shall make one. Must be incredibly loud. Always sounds like those jets are tearing the sky when they fly by. They used to buzz us in the woods sometimes. SO cool to see.
BTW, is that a silver B-17? I've always wanted to take a ride in one of those too. They have that at our airport, but think it's pretty spendy. So I shall continue to dream big. Have a nice Memorial Day weekend.
Oops, never mind on the B-17 thing, I just went back to the first post. But I STILL want a ride in an old bomber. These posts are so spot on, great job DW.
