Went to the Dayton Air Show in 1993 with the Civil Air Patrol. Flew up on a KC-135 out of Rickenbacker. Our return ride was on a C-5B out of Dover. (How this happened is a long story.) The NASA C-141 was taxiing out as we took off. It later caught up to us and flew along side us, taking up positions all around us. The C-5 pilot told us the C-141 was taking radar pictures of the C-5 from many angles, developing the radar signature of the C-5. Kinda neat to see that bird air-to-air.
