Words cannot describe the awesome - Volume-3 (CLOSED)

I used to have a model of an F4. I was at an airshow once where they had an F4 flyover, and the announcer called it the flying anvil - proof that, if you put enough power behind it, you can get anything to fly.

 

That F-82 twin Mustang was pretty cool, but it was just a lame attempt to one-up the P-38 Lightning. The P-38 Lightning was the only Pursuit/Fighter that was in production before WWII started, and was still in production when the war ended.

A few years ago I was having lunch at an outdoor café in Newport R.I. with the wife. A shadow passed overhead didn't even hear it until it had passed and banked towards the Newport bridge. Truly an awesome sight.

It's creepy how quiet it is until past you. About the time it is heard, bam, your dead.

I think I saw one of those flying at the Rhinebeck Aerodrome in the Hudson Valley, NY, as a kid. Great place lots of WWI and pre-WWI aircraft flown in airshows. I even got to get into a Renault WWI tank (and have 30 lb hatch dropped on my finger - ouch!).

 

Great place! And still operating 40+ years later.
