im not a big fan of military types,i do like "warbirds" for "airshows"..lol..but depending on final price...i might get this depending on the VC quality,just for the "coolness" factor....
i know on all my posts i seem to tell a stupid story and here i go again...
a few years ago,at the California Capitol Airshow at Mather field, Sacramento ,the year all the flying P-38s in the USA but one that broke down enroute where gathered together,a B2 Spirit did a flyover,not unusual in itself,but what was unusual was that both pilots of the B2 were from Grass Valley Cal,50 or so miles east of Mather,the B2 was based in Missouri,both pilots families,friends and others had been contacted and told these youngmen would be in the aircraft for the flyover ,and the family members were brought to the airshow free..when the B2 does an airshow flyover..they make one fairly low slow pass...turn around make a second pass..and leave,this time,because of the unusual circumstances they were given permission to make several passes,we saw bomb bays open,,a slow wheels down pass....a very low ,very HIGH speed pass..which was beyond awesome...and then they swung out wide,and i looked to the right,where a B-25 was taking the runway..he lifted off got in formation with the B2 for a pass...well they did a fine job of coridanting it..they came down the main for a pass together..was just cool...and i was so busy watching this....coolness....i didnt get a pic..
