Meh.. I miss his ORIGINAL scheme..

Blue angels in the F18's. (I really liked the A4's too)
Sean Tucker in his Oracle Pitts (great showman)

A Lockheed Super G Constellation. None finer.

I was able to walk through the AN-225 at an airshow many years ago. Very impressive.

Getting to see A-10 activity is an almost daily event right over the house low enough to see plenty of detail and the sound is AWESOME...!!!

SR-71 Blackbird.

Here is a link to one of the best stories ever told about flying one.

I have seen many WWII airplanes up close in person but, The Foke Wolf D-190 is a very impresive machine. The sucker looks like it's doing 500mph standing still. This past weekend I was given a personal Tour of the American Airpower Museum located here on Long Island at the Farmingdale Republic Airport and, for the first time I saw the P-40 Warhawk and, it's tiny compared to many WWII war birds.

Get to see one do it's thing at the Ft Lauderdale Air and Sea Show.......It was flipping amazing to watch...at the end of his routine, he did a low fast fly by that blew out 7 windows in the Howard Johnson's hotel

Sonic "Booms" were a staple at airshows back in the late 60's early 70's..... and I still remember them. At least the airshows I was at.... Eglin AFB mostly...

That blackbird story is amazing!! If only we could for a couple minutes experience that kind of spee s and feeling!!!

Great link and story! I had the pleasure of being at Dulles when they landed after the cross-country speed dash. They taxied to the ramp at the Signature FBO.....and THEN, I got to walk out around and under it .

Really, really wished I'd had my camera with me though

Amazing aircraft!

It was a great story.... I often wonder what will ever beat that plane if anything!

My guess (hope?) it's been flying for some time.....we just don't know about it yet.
