I got a ride in a B-25 Mitchell yesterday. It was incredible. We flew out over the Pacific, and even got buzzed by an aggressor F-18.

Very cool! I bet you were wishing he would pull up to the tail for a few shots. What B-25 were you in?

I bet the Hornet pilot was just as excited to say "I buzzed a B-25!" :lol:

Beautiful pictures.

Thanks everyone. I watched that Hornet come up on us fast, then turned away from us. It seemed really fast compared to our speed, which I am sure it was.

The B-25 was "Executive Sweet" based in Camarillo.

Ho hum. Just another boring day out at the old CAF hangar. Why some of us hang around the old place is beyond me. You lucky stiff! I am eating my heart out. Was John and or Dana flying her? I will see you on the flightline tomorrow around 0800.

I'll be there. I will probably be shooting near the Broussard.

It was John flying us yesterday.
