Pics you dont get to see often
Diamondhead from the air and one of the dozen or so F15's that fly over my office coming in for lunch and than again at the end of the day.
  Got the perfect spot for that baby to make a run past

Re: Pics you dont get to see often
Jeff every year at Scott AFB in Illinois they would have an F 15 come in from St Louis and it would make a low and slow fly by...then a fast fly by and on the 3rd pass he would put it on its ass and go straight up..I think the F15 held a record for time to climb and was one of the few jets that could accelerate vertical...or something like that...say ar SR 71 do the same thing there...My brother was career AF and he never saw an SR71 until then....at Clark AFB they would take off and land under cover of night usually and go directly to the hanger

Re: Pics you dont get to see often
Jeff, too cool....wow!! And Bob, to even come close to a SR71 Blackbird is amazing! . These things are the ZL1 of jets and fly at like Mach 3 plus....over 2200 mph! . Wild stuff! ~ Pete

Re: Pics you dont get to see often
The SR71 was on it's way to parts unknown and olny did a flyby to show the crowd,,,it was pretty amazing when he left the show area on a near vertical and pushed until it was out of sight !! Pretty cool stuff...that was a great year at the air show...parked on the tarmac was the Space Shuttle ..either Challenger or Columbia on top of it's 747 transport plane !!

Re: Pics you dont get to see often
You can see the SR-71 Trainer (with dual cockpits) at the Edwards AFB,CA open houses since its flown by NASA at the Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards. They usually make a low flyby and then a higher faster one
NASA 831 is the Trainer http://www.sr-71.org/photogallery/blackbird/ We see the U-2 come in here now and then and thats pretty neat looking plane as well.
