What's the deal Huggy? Don't Air Force guys know how to join up before flying over the stadium

P.S. It probably would have looked ******************** hot if dash 4 could have pulled it off.

Actually, Puck, I think you're right: it really looks like they didn't even try to tighten it up until way late in the game.

I wonder why the military even made this public. Most people would not have even known there was an issue unless they said something. Ground the pilot if you want but keep this in-house(military).

The guy in the left seat of that B-17 is 84 years old, a WW2 vet

Makes me remember why I wanted to get into aviation in the first place, listening to the stories of the "great" ones. On a side note, on the 60 anniversary for the D-Day invasion one of the C-17 units brought along two C-47 pilots and a crew chief for the celebration, after the drops they finally cleared the flight for a low pass over St. Mere - talking to the pilot on board I told him we were cleared down to 700 feet, his response - 700 feet's not low, when the props are hitting the wave tops of the channel thats low. I'll remember that quote as long as I live.

Those old guys f****n' ROCK!!

What an honor it is to be allowed in and given a glimpse of their world. Having had similar experiences, coho, I know how special that was. Money can't buy it and time can't take it away!!

I had the honor of meeting the surviving members of Doolittle's Raid last year. One of them, at 95, still stands tall, has a crushing grip, and a very steely-eyed stare. I have no doubt he could saddle up and do it again. A real fighting man.

You sir, are an idiot!

Do we REALLY want to get into all the red-nose clown-shoe-wearing antics of GA pilots?

Of course, your response to me listing their innumerable acts of buffoonery would be "don't paint us all with the same brush."

This guy likely won't fly an F-16 again. I can't say the same for all the Bonanza flying idiot/doctors out there.

I don't know who did this one, but many thanks to the Osprey crew who was flying in the vicinity of DCA on 10 April.

I was on the ramp when they, in order, flew south over the Potomac, then turned around and overflew the Rwy 4 centerline. Having never seen the Osprey in flight, my crew and I enjoyed it!

Is the Marine Corps the only branch flying the Osprey, or does the Army have any now?
