This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Holy Apartment Building, Batman!!!
In LAX on Sunday. Hard to get a perspective until you look at the full size van under the tail.

A Marine Corps F-18 heading very slowly up the Hudson from lower Manhattan. Then at about 14th Street, he raised his flaps, punched the afterburner and went nearly vertical.
Very nice!!!!
Must be practicing for Fleet Week!!!!

Saw a B-52 over Fairfax, Virginia heading towards Dulles Airport yesterday. It was pretty low down. Must have been leaving the JSOH at Andrews, but surprised it hadn't climbe for altitude by the time it reached us. Any ideas anyone?
Cheers,

A Grumman SA-16 /HU-16 Albatross was spotted directly over my home flying on a SE course. Appeared to possibly be headed toward the Watsonville Airport ( about 30 miles way). The annual Watsonville airshow is scheduled for Memorial weekend..starting 22 May.

That floatplane was back again, this time flying over michigan! Looks like a goose, widgeon type and was siloughetted against the setting sun. No camera or Binoculars either!! Agghh!

2 F-18s and 2 V-22's up the Hudson as part of 'Fleet Week' here in NYC. Now that aircraft does not look like she was meant to fly forward.., up maybe?.., but forward?

Yesterday, I saw a B-2 doing touch and go's at Dobbins ARB near Atlanta...
I'm always surprised at how loud the B-2 is for a non-AB equipped aircraft.
