I'll see what I can do. Be worth it to see a friend take a cool ride.

You can get a ride with some money.   You can't recreate those Airsho' moments any more though.   It was insane back in the day....   My old man told me how he would be landing a 737 and look out of the cockpit to see a squadron of Zekes formed up off each wing.   Crazy fun times.    Glad I got to see it.


Speaking of Texas Raiders....   I remember the days when it had the Triangle G tail code, splotchy green camo, and no gun turrets.    Also, nothing like watching three B-17s lock brakes and "bow" to the crowd.   Lol

Or see Raiders land on one wheel and roll all the way down the runway.

It won't--few things could, having done both.  But still a cool thing to get to do.   Take lots of pictures!

I used to work at Inwood & Beltline, right off the end of the runway. It was great when the warbirds would fly in, but the B-17 was something else! It was so big and nasty on takeoff that it shook the building to the point stuff was falling off shelves. I can only imagine what Fifi would do.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.
