Chris,

That is some incredible footage. I'm a old WW2 movie/historical junky and have never seen that footage before. Amazing.

Is there a youtube link for that???

Man, I wish I had been at that Nellis show! If they would put on that show again for money, they would make enough off of us airplane cranks to pay off the national debt....I did make it to the 50th aniversary of the airforce airshow at Nellis and that was very cool, but not as cool as seeing a B-58 Hustler roaring down on the deck, and a real wall of fire...
When I am president, there will be air racing at Nellis every year....the F-22 class, the F/A 18 class, the F-4 class and my personal favorite, the unlimited B-36 class.

Spent all my money on air racing, women and booze, and just wasted the rest.....

Okay, you wasted money on women and booze too. Air racing... now that's worth spending money on. As any woman worth her salt knows.

Women and booze are not a waste of money!!!!!
A wife is heaven's last best gift....except air racers, of course....
