Re: The Need For Speed
Outstanding! I like how an F-4 and F-22 look good next to anything in the inventory, both new and old.
I recall an air show at Scott AFB IL, many years ago. Prior to the show they were flying in a lot of aircraft. The F-117 Nighthawks looked so eerie streaking across the clear blue skies, and a KC-10 landing looked so BIG as she touched down.
Thanks for sharing!

Just to be reminded that not everything that flies rains death and destruction from the sky. Watch this and I don't think I really have to say anything more -

It's a dirty job but I got to do it for 27 years. Thank you.

That is the first P-38 I've ever seen that wasn't a model hanging from my ceiling when I was a kid.
I wish I had my new camera with video and sound to share as well, there is nothing else in the world like a WWII fighter roaring across the sky at low level....and the F-22 sounds just plain spooky....unlike any other jet I've ever heard....and I've heard them all at one point or another!
An outstanding picture! I really like the size comparison. I've also always been impressed with the guns found in the nose of a P-38.
The only plane missing is a P-47 Thunderbolt, although it would look a lot cooler with a flight of A-10s.

Oh, yes, very sleek and stealthy looking, filled with good food and outstanding entertainment!

Re: The Need For Speed
And an original functioning 8-track too
Air travel not what it used to be, sad
More reto stuff ,but this indeed the stuff for bringing pain from above
Interesting footage also of the Sea Vixen, for a 50s/60s era fighter, a lot bigger than you'd think
