That video only comes close to doing the moment justice... I could only imagine the roar one felt in their chests as this wave passed by.  :salute

Super pumped for DC flyover in May! !
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Love the Spit Vb.   :aok

I have finished my course,

Say you wanted to fly across the United States on a single tank of fuel.  This is the plane you would take.
