2-11-11 mid afternoon

F8F Bearcat, about 300 feet away, 0 AGL (Pilot was about 7 AGL) Nose-up on the ramp because it taxied behind a B25 doign a run-up (or something like that)

KSAT (San Antonio International Airport)

Rod Lewis was at the helm of the B25, and one of his sons was flying the bearcat. After we had finished at KSAT we were the next departing traffic off of 12L behind 2 P38s and a B25 (He broke one, so what? He's got 15 more) Mr. Lewis also owns the P38 "Glacier Girl" and the Bearcat "Rare Bear" I think total he has 4 bearcats, and 2 tigercats (of 3 in flyable condition) and a whole slew of other warbirds

Summer 1998, middle of the day, southeast Mesa, Arizona.
10 Apache Gunships in staggered, close formation flying south.
That is a sight and sound I will never forget.
We could hear them before we saw them.
About half the neighborhood came running out to look.  :old:
