My Ex Wifes Grandfather was part of the crew in the B36 Peacemaker. He still flies today but the plane is much smaller (Cessna 152) but has told me quite a few times about flying in the 36. I used to go to quite a few airshows but they don't come to my area as often as they used to . While stationed at Redstone Arsenal in the 80's we had local ones on base that were great but also used to go to Courtland Alabama for large airshows until the old base was sold to Lockheed Martin. Dad wanted to be a Helicopter pilot but color blind guys like him (and me) were out on that deal... I like the vids you guys are posting and it made me think of something I hadn't seen in many years. As an Army Brat coming up in the 70's and 80's watching movies in theaters all over the world I remember well standing for the National Anthem and seeing our Flag in all theaters and remember that military trailer that preceded all previews. I remember seeing AAFES on everything back then. Can anyone find a video of those old theater trailers. Even our local TV stations quit showing the patriotic films before going off the air at 1 AM (they don't go off air anymore though, stupid infomercials).
