You should have heard them when they flew over my house ... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

I am on the path from Mesa to Deer Valley and the sound they made was beautiful music

Here's some flying that requires a seat cushion sphincter removal after you land, especially at night, or low on fuel, or low on fuel at night. Max pitch and roll is a bitch. Ask me how I know!

Shipboard landing

Listen to the words. Been around, but a good one anyway. Go USAF!

Bummer! A living piece of history is now gone, the Liberty Belle crashed and burned today, all 7 on board got out safely.

Also a Goodyear Blimp crashed and burned in Germany, 3 pax survive, pilot dies a hero.

More on the Goodyear blimp. It was one of several that are leased to Goodyear by the Lightship group, unlike the three company owned airships that operate in the United States and are old school, old tech blimps.

That just sucks!!! There are not that many B-17's left flying and every time any Warbird goes down the beaurocrats make it harder to keep them flying. Thank God no one was killed!!Unfortunately not the same can be said for the pilot of the blimp.

This is awful. I live near where this plane flew and I used to love seeing it overhead every once in a while.
