    Outstanding, so I wasn't seeing things! I thought I had eaten the wrong shrooms for dinner or something

    I didn't see the mustang, but I saw a P-47 Thunderbolt. The cool thing about those old planes is you hear them well before you see them coming.

    2 years ago we were working on the runways at that little airport on the north west end of the metro area, can't remember it's name. Anyways, over the noise of the equipment I heard something very cool, looked up ant it was a B-17!!! VERY low level flyby, I'd say less than 20', he made a tight turn and landed on the runway right next to us. Awesome!
    That same summer we had a crew at Ft. Carson, making the hot re-fuel pads, I was still at the airport who's name escapes me, my nextel beeped, one of the guys down at Carson just watched 2 V-22 Ospreys hot fuel, he was pretty impressed. A few minutes later they landed next to our equipment, dropped of a couple people then took off and headded north.
    Centennial airport is where the MiG-15 lives, I met the guy who owns it, says he is working on a F-86 Sabre. Must be nice to have that kind of cash.

    a guy down at KAPA has one, or at least did a few years ago when i was flying out of there. beautiful plane.

    here is my video over at a private airfield on the east side of brighton. I got invited by the judge who gave me my first ever airplane ride in his bonanza V-tail!

    you can see how close I was to the runway.

    if you have ever been to a top fuel drag race and sat pretty close to the track, that is about the only thing that I can use to describe the feeling that goes through your chest....I imagine that is what it would be like if the doctors had to shock your chest.

    this was with a 3.2 megapixel camera, wish i had my current camera because it would have been awesome to see that thing in really good detail!

    oh and if you guys get a chance head to the air show at KBJC some time.
    I haven't been for a few years but there was always the guys with a T-33, a mig 17 and another guy with a venom jet (that thing is awesome looking!)

    Probably. There is an aviation lawyer that has one at APA.

    When is the airshow? I have my first solo jump at Mile High in Longmont on the 28th.
