at 1:20pm, a C-130 will be doing a very low altitude fly-by and an alomost verticle bank near/over the air base. :snky:

Should be very fun to see for a plane so big. Just a heads up.

**edit: will be closer about 1:20pm**

lol my manager was arguing that the air force base cant have b-52’s land or take off. also he made it sound like airforce 1 cant land and take off their, or that it doesnt land there.

anytime the president comes to buffalo/niagara falls, isnt that where he lands? isnt that plane also a 747?

Always loved it they would do high angle of attack landings over one of the highways by Charleston Air Force Base and people that had never seen it before would slam on their brakes thinking the planes were going to crash due to their size.

The highlight of my naval career was getting trapped on an aircraft carrier in a C-2A Greyhound.

Scary. As. Fuck.

The MH-53 Sea Dragons are pretty cool to hitch a ride on, biggest fucking helo’s ever
