- Thread starter Bluvette75
- Start date
Thanks Grant for the email reply with more info. I look forward to this now a little more. This will be a great weekend. I see an early morning (4am departure) on the Thursday now to be there to see some of the aircraft arriving. They usually do a low pass or 2 before landing. Always thrilling and never gets old. Mixing Corvettes and US military aircraft will be my Utopia !! The lineup is first class to say the least.
As well Grant.... Be careful over there in Baghdad. Good lord !! Be careful and may the Corvette gods be on your side. Needless to say,thanks for your service across the pond.

We were in Tucson last year visiting the military aviation museum. Incredible place.
Just as we were getting on the bus a B52 took off from the nearby military base, camera in hand and too fascinated by watching the machine climb to take a picture. It apparently was on its way to New Orleans to replace a B52 that was fire damaged. They have no way to lift a B52 in Tucson so they flew with landing gear down as there was no way to test it.
Sounds like a great show. Grant I too thank you for your service. Be careful.

B52s are massive !! Almost 60 years old and still going. And still a beautiful looking airplane.
I would love to go to this show, but will need to review my holidays for the year. I may be maxed out for the years trips unfortunely. Look's very tempting however.
