Nice flyover!!

Grandpa flew 'em low

My Grandfather flew P-38's during WWII. I once asked him how he could tell how close he was to the water. He said that when they would fly down low enough to see the props ripple the water, they were low enough.

The USAF is also going to fly the Osprey, about 20 or so in Spec Ops. But I hear that's a secret.

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?

Any your response has what to do with this post? Those clouds are really pretty!

The VANG should be banned from all BoSox flyovers indefinitely. All future flyovers should be performed by Marine Reserve Hornets followed by epic VIP passes.... oops, my inner dialogue escapes, S.H. Green Mountain Flyover!, Go Sox, Yankees Suck!

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.

really? you think that dude will get f.e.b.'d for that?

It was an unusual flyover!

Since I'm retired Army, I am curious as to the utilization of the Osprey. Given that it happened at DCA, it was unusual. One wouldn't expect a flyover at DCA because of nearby prohibited airspace.

Most military RW aircraft fly up the Potomac, over the east bank, then to their destination. Most times, that is the Pentagon helipad.

Since the title of this thread is "Nice flyover!", this seems an appropriate place to post.

Fly safe!

And its a wonder why they can't operate in the MOA's professionally?

Hmmmm

Program your FMS, engage the auto pilot, and shut your man pleaser. Troll.

And don't forget abiding by the FAR's and keeping my certificate.

It's been said before, but you sir, are an idiot.

If that wasn't fake, it was certainly stupid.

One mistake...a jet into a stadium somewhere...and we will forever lose the ability to share with our citizens some of the esprit and pride that goes into being a military aviator.

Fun is fun. Professional is professional. Doing both at the same time rocks. Forgetting the second part sets us all up to fail.

According to AIR WARRIORS it wasn't fake. USMC Hornet and no board, or so the story goes. It happened quite awhile ago so maybe he became one of the Green Mountain Boys.

So that's how they do the rolling rejoin in the f-16. Nice.
