Back when I used to live in Pensacola I remember using all kinds of naval vessels. The one that stuck about the most and was stationed there for awhile was the "Lady Lexington." I think it went to Texas.
I also got to see all kinds of stuff from the inside of these bases as well. My uncle was a F-14 pilot back in the 80s and 90s. Pretty amazing stuff. My goal nowadays is to see a F-22 and F-35. The 35s are probably easily doable considering where I am. |
the f22 is already there in the panhandle. i used to see them all the time w/ f-15's flying into pensacola, right around panama city and eglin afb.

If you had a modded xbox, all the unit / weapon info is in a ini. like file. It wouldn't be too hard to figure out, then you could customize units. You coul dmake your own unit, though you'd have to use a graphic that existed.
Maybe I'll make a mega-hex bomber armed with a carpet bomb.

i dunno i saw a B-1B do a flyby at mach .95. that was impressive over the beach in chicago.

I think I remember seeing that.
I've been to so many air shows that it's hard to keep track of where and when I've seen what.

Down here in Ft. Lauderdale we have a huge Air Show every May just off the beach. It's free! Draws millions. The headliner usually alternates between the Thunderbirds and the Blue Angels. SemperFi would love it. The Marines do an amphibious assault onto beach with vehicles, helicopters, fighter cover, the whole nine yards! The B-52, B-2, and B-1B have all done fly-bys. The B-52 makes a noise like no other when it comes by flying low. In contrast the B-2 is very quiet compared to the other aircraft. The B-1B did this neat thing where it turns out to the ocean and then lights the afterburners making a big boom and flashing those exhausts at you. They're all very beautiful aircraft and amazingly graceful for such big brutes. If you guys are ever looking for an excuse to come to South Florida do it during this Air Show & Fleet Week. All kinds of ships, subs, and aircraft. A must for military junkies!

 Yeah, I'd love it just because it's a freaking cool thing to watch. Both from being the landing perspective (as in doing my job) or just watching it from the defenders (lol) point of view.

Very nice. I think I just might have to eventually plan a trip down there just to see it.
