This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Unless someone knows better, I prolly should have reported a VC-25 was visiting.

I was four F-16s ripping around in afterburner at low-level along US-421 near Medaryville, Indiana on Friday. Not sure what was up with that - there are no military bases or airports anywhere near the area I saw them - but I certainly appreciated the show while I was heading up to Michigan!

Just to be "THAT GUY": its not AF1 or AF2 unless the POTUS or VPOTUS are on board. I only found that out when Nixon resigned. Left Andrews AFB on AF1, resignation took effect while in flight, designation changed to SAM*** (Special Air Mission).

Saw this one flying into Ukiah, CA (KUKI). No idea why but it is a CDF Air Attack base with a permanently assigned OV-10

The CAF's B-29 Fifi flew by just after lunch coming up from Ellington and headed to Ft Worth Meacham.
I stand corrected as it went to Ft Worth Alliance for the Airsho there this weekend.

The B-29 Fifi was in the area today doing rides locally. Even in the distance when you hear her you know who it is. Kinda like a Mustang...
