    Default airplane buff this is your chance for a rare sighting tomorrow

    The Patrouille de France (French Thunderbird) will be performing a fly by over the Air Force academy around 11.30 am tomorrow. It should be preceded by their support plane, a A400 Atlas.

    If you love your freedom, thank a veteran. If you love to party, thank the Beastie Boys. They fought for that right.

    I saw the A400 fly over Pueblo, but he was pretty high. Sounded more like a jet, not even close to the C-130 which buzz the house frequently.

    I was expecting something over Colorado Springs, but they either didn't fly this far south or I was busy in the warehouse.
