I like the performers in the aerobatic class I have seen and met but I have to say I like Matt Chapman the best.... and I miss that Paintball scheme!

The Old Turbine Waco was awesome as well.
Military aircraft, gotta be the Corsair!

Yes it was incredible!

Also, the C130, love the way that thing sounds on a low high speed pass, and the way it can get in and out of a short field

Loved Fat Albert with the JATO take-off.... No clue as to why they stopped doing that though...

A few years ago a couple of A-10's were doing a fly over for a Road America race, my family was at my father's house for his birthday, and we could hear those turbines but could not spot them in the air, they were very low. After about 15 minutes of all the dammed noise, the A-10's flew right over my dad's house! Without missing a beat my dad said "try and top that on YOUR birthday"

I have seen the F-22 do the Harrier- neat and LOUD, best looking is a P-47.

If I could go for a ride - I want to sit behind Shawn Tucker or Rob Holland.

Is it true you don't see that much anymore because it's so rare to have 2 B-1's be operational at the same time?

I met Sean Tucker a few years ago... Super-Nice guy.... lifted the rope and let me scope his plane..... was very cool.

I seen 2 of them takeoff at Boeing field in Seattle back in the early 90s during an airshow. It was so dang loud. My father worked at Boeing Field, so i was able to get really close to the flightline, and watch them takeoff. I sure miss that.
