Anyone  checking out the Warbirds today?



I  love auto  correct.

What is a 'Warburg?'

[Arlo]

Ah! There's a warbird display! Wished I'd known sooner. I woulda budgeted. These events aren't promoted as well as they used to be (seems to me). Have fun, Slash. take pics.

Nothing will ever top the Harlingen shows in the 70s and 80s.

Never went to one there but I doub't it will ever top my ride in Texas Raiders tomorrow! 

 So what the hell Arlo, can't look at planes on Sunday or what?

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.

[Slash27]

Glad my ride won't measure up. 

[Vraciu]

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.
