Default Re: Anyone into Planes??

Used to go to Scott AFB every year to the open house air show...My brother was in for 30 years. One year we had a special treat...an SR71 did 2 fly-bys....first was low & slow...it looked like a needle in profile...the next time he came past he tipped his wings to the crowd...pointed it verticle and went straight up until it was out of sight...never forget the sound and sight of that...my brother was stationed at Clark AFB during Viet Nam and he said it went out at night and came back at night and that air show was the FIRST time he ever actually saw that plane.

Don't mess with old farts - age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! Bullshit and brilliance only come with age and experience.
