Get it? Chuck's it's wings!

that's not possible. Two 's cannot occupy the same space at the same time. A black hole will appear and destroy the universe, except the two 's

Apparently a civilian team is doing the flyover this year in L-39s.

Black Diamond Jet Team

Shh... it's my secret attack move!

F-15 interceptors would be an interesting twist to the story, although I thought most of the ANG domestic CAP's were flown with F-16's. Looking at some of the local ANG units, it looks like most of our neighboring states with Fighter Wings fly F-16's.

Illinois - 183d wing - F16
Indiana - 122d wing - F16/A10
Ohio - 108th wing - F16


Speaking of F-16's, many years ago when they were out of Terre Haute, the flight line was over our football practice field at Rose-Hulman. One year they were doing a flyby for a big event (probably the 500), so used our field as the practice site. Seeing those things come in at tree top leve, then one man pull up as part of the "missing man" formation literally made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

Isn't it Armed Forces Day this weekend? Could the Strike Eagles have been doing a practice fly over for the ceremony (where at in Indy I don't know)?

FWIW, There is nothing parked on the ramp currently in the area where these planes stage for events. In the past, I've seen the Blue Angels or Thunderbirds staged there during airshow weekends, and F-22s. F-18s and F-16s for various event fly-overs.

There is not much in this world more awesome than a flight of war-birds at full military power trimming trees.............

 

[HamYankee]

I saw the formation fly over 86th street yesterday. It was pretty awesome.

Had what appeared to be a warthog fly over Pendleton area this morning. Weird I thought they got
mothballed lately. They used to use this area lots I guess because of the Mt. Comfort airport nearby.

It it was nothing in the 1980's to see a ton of a-10's flying around the area. This one just passed by.

 

[slowG]

Pretty sure I saw 4

 

[Texas]

It was a 4 ship of F15E strike eagles with the 335FS from Seymour Johnson AFB. It was a missing man formation honoring the late Col James Kasler.

And no, F14s are in no way shape or form better than an Eagle of any variety.

Remauto1187, these are dual role. The camaro comparison is pretty short sighted

Damn...

How come no one ever joins INGO just to correct me??

 

[Crbn79]

I did, but then I got caught up looking at all the rifle build pictures so I forgot.
