Remember when a couple of B52’s did a flyby of the USS Ranger (CV61)

B-52 Pilot: “Ranger, we’re 5 miles out.”
USS Ranger: “We do not have visual…”
B-52 Pilot: “Look down”
Taken in the spring of 1990 in the Persian Gulf, the impressive pictures in this post feature U.S. Air Force (USAF) B-52 Stratofortress strategic bombers buzzing USS Ranger (CV-61) aircraft carrier.

Speaking of airshows, I think the Stuart Airshow will be Friday November 10 to the 12th. Notice it centers on Veterans Day.
It's a good idea to have it in November instead of July 4th!

I remember the crash at Fairchild AFB. I have often wondered if the pilots of these planes felt cheated. They wanted to fly fighters and instead got to drive a bus/buff. I spent some of my AF time working on these guys in the cold snowy North during the Cold War.
