Tomorrow is the first day of the Offutt AFB Open House, and I will be
escorting 6 teenage boys there. An all day trip, partly due to
traffic. Today we had our company picnic at the base lake, and we
got a preview of coming attractions.
A partial list of the aircraft spotted on final today included:
TR-1
F-4 (Ne ANG)
A-10
CF-18 (he's a regular here - does a spectacular SQUARE loop)
F-111
Assorted CAF planes,
F-16 (in addition to the Thunderbirds)
and not personally spotted by me, but seen by co-workers, an F-117.
For some reason, nobody has heard of a Mig-29, and the F-117 has NOT
been part of the pre-show publicity.
Also, a Looking Glass was doing "Crash-and-Dash" practice, so they are still
there.
I will take notes and post after the show as well. I know I've forgotten
at least one bird.
