What did you accomplish today?

Thunderbirds fly F-16's (USAF), Blue Angels fly F-18's (USN) Snowbirds are from Canada, I don't know what they fly, eh.

looked it up ... the Canadair CT-114 Tutor

Dude we have to catch fleet week in San Francisco some time. Some of the fishing boats run a fishing and Blue Angels special, fish all day and be back under the golden gate in time to anchor off Alcatraz just in time for the air show. Best seat in the house. I did it once about 15 years ago and it was hella cool....

I saw them at The Last Airshow at Moffett ... '98 iirc

My grandpa, after all the shit he went through with ww2 volunteered for the Korean war when that happened. After returning and receiving another purple heart, he was stationed at an old airforce base that is no longer there down in or near Atwater building a certain bomber before becoming a postman. Do you know what bomber that would have been? My mom grew up in Atwater, always bitched about it lol.

Those always reminded me of the T-37, they made awful high pitched noises when on the ground. Worse than an F-4 on approach.

I know Castle (an old SAC base) was there, and I've visited the Castle Air Museum. They have some tasty units on display ... a B-36, a B-58, the entire Century Series of fighters, an Avro Vulcan ...

B-52, Castle AFB. Had water injection in the engines for added boost.

It WAS the b52! Ok thanks bro. I was always told that but for some reason I got b17 in my head and was told that was wrong a few years back.

On the 99 (exit 83) there's a place called Mefford Field. They have a B-17 and an F-4 on static display, visible from the highway. The Phantom is almost as big as the Fortress, and iirc could carry more ordnance.

You gotta watch out for my posts. My goal is to finish editing them before it tells everyone forever that you edited it. Got 4 minutes to get it right.

I think that’s how i got it confused. Huell Howser did a show on that. I’m pretty sure that’s how i had gotten the B17 instead of the B52
