Just got back from the show-I got some pretty good video and if I can figger out how to post it I will.

They had one of two MIG 17's in flying condition, pretty cool, the Avenger torpedo bomber reminded me of a milk truck- huge lumbering old warbird.
Wasn't too bad of a show but definitely not like they used to be there.

The people in Boulder and the surrounding area probably got to see more passes of the B2 than we did at the show. It was circling for a while before making 3 passes at the show.

Agreed.

I hope they experienced a mix of hatred and terror watching it up there.

I got to see a few passes by the fighters. I was helping my friend's mom move. MAN that sound is just SO incredible!

I watched the fighter do some stunts. I love that sound of freedom.

I have a few pics and video clips I would be happy to e mail them so they can be posted.

That B-2 is really an amazing thing. I was in charge of security at the Denver Int'l Airshow back in '94? After the show, the planes were leaving at various times over the next couple of days. When the B-2 left, it turned around and did a low pass over one of the north/south runways. Coming up from the south. You couldn't hear a thing until it was right on top of you. Quite stunning to clearly see that craft speeding towards you and hear no noise- then you could it all very suddenly. Quite an experience.

I heard a story (not sure if it's true or not) that years ago at airshows they would have a F-117 Stealth Fighter on display, but all it would be was the three pieces of the landing gear. You couldn't see the plane because it was "stealth". The area would be roped off big enough so that it would surround a plane if one had actually been there. Pretty funny if it's true.

Never heard that one, but I have pics of the 117 at the DIA airshow that I took after hours along with the Air Force guards assigned to it. When no one else was around they allowed me to climb up the ladder and look in the cockpit. It was kept in the United hangar overnight and it was roped off.

The only B-2 fly-over I have experienced was at an Air Force football game. You didn't hear anything, then all of the sudden the sky above turned black...it was a B-2 that seemed so close you could touch it. Didn't hear anything until it was past.

Gave me goose bumps. It was amazing.
