The F 22 flyover, definitely

I know I am at least a year late here. Retired USAF many years ago. You British are special people. I was stationed in Guam with my family and the Vulcan would come by ever so often. I has permission to take my 2 boys aboard a Vulcan. Just the three of us. What a beautiful aircraft. One of my son was stationed in England flying A-10`s and he took me to Ducksford??? to a airshow. Went aboard your SST. I am old now and can not remember its real name. I was a boom operator in a KC-135. Got to see the world many times over with the SR-71.Lots of time at Mildenhall. Take care.

The B2 always thrills me. The Vulcans entrance was spectacular. The Lancaster and all the other WW2 Warbirds are treasures

I was at a Cal football game a few years ago and the B2 did a flyover. It's hard for people who haven't seen it in person to understand the how LOUD they are. It literally rumbled the whole stadium when it flew over. And (it being Berkeley) half the people cheered, and half boo'ed. 😕

With all of that wing area the Vulcan can go so slow it seems to be hoovering.

In 1991 in Huntsville Alabama, on Veterans day, there was a fly by of a B-52 and other assorted jets. When I first saw them, they were like a mile high, was disappointed, so I went home. Not 30 minutes later, as I was sitting on my front porch, I saw a B-52 in the distance coming right towards me. It didn't take long to get to me and came screaming over where I was sitting, maybe 700 to 1000 feet high going at least 450mph. Shook the ground, rattled my windows and was gone in seconds. That was the best low level flight I have ever seen!

Hey, I'm from HSV, too :) One of the best shows I've been to was in Pensacola back in the late 80s or very early 90s. There was a *lot* going on at it because there are other bases within range so lots of military planes were flying through just for fun. One of the best was a B52... I first saw this speck drop out of the clouds a really long ways away. I knew it had to be something big because it was so far away. It slowly kept getting bigger and then the other stuff flying around disappeared (giving the B52 space) and eventually the B52 came right over the tarmac at only a couple/few hundred feet high with all gear/flaps down, etc. Once he got half way down the runway, he picked up all the gear and flaps and pushed the throttles to the stops and climbed back up into the clouds. I swear you could see rocks bouncing on the concrete. Another show I lucked into (didn't know it was going on, was driving by and we saw the activity and just pulled over to watch) was in Ft. Lauderdale in the early 2000s (maybe around 2005?) right at nightfall so you could see the light from the engines when they were burning, etc. We were walking to the viewing area and one of the planes did one of the high speed "sneak up on the crowd being really loud" tricks and flew right over our heads at just a few hundred feet. This time, though, it was a B1B with afterburners going. That was pretty wild.

My personal favorite is the U-2. I lived for 10 years about two miles from Moffet Field, in California, home of the Ames Research Center. They flew U-2s quite a bit. There is no mistaking the roar of the engine during the takeoff roll, the aircraft pitching up to about a 45 degree climb, and then holding the climb until the aircraft is out of sight, but not out of hearing. The roar can be heard for minutes as it climbs straight out.

As we watched we noticed the assembled families on the viewing platforms all looking distracted, pointing behind us and looking away from the podium where he was speaking..... this was shortly followed by a low whistling noise, barely audible at first but very quickly rising, then to our shock and awe from behind us a Vulcan escorted by two Harriers passed directly overhead at low level, and within a second or two of doing so, all three pulled up into a near vertical climb, and I have NEVER experienced or should I say FELT noise like it !!!

I lived in Lutterworth and we always knew when it was going to fly because they warmed up the engines for about fifteen minutes and you could hear them five miles away. Just long enough to ride my bike to the airfield . the road was a hundred yards from the runway and i will never forget that monster taking off in a huge cloud of blue smoke.

Although I don't remember being scared of it but apparently my parents had to put their hands over my ears which I think I kind of remember! The other time was at South End.

So much awesomeness here. The U-2 and B-2 for rarity value were fabulous. The smaller jets and display teams are always pleasing. The Vulcan is simply the most beautiful machine to ever grace the skies. But for me, the Boeing 787 defies all the laws of physics with that steep take-off so it has my vote all day long.

@@bobsurgranny Thanks! It was a monumental experience, one that I'll treasure for the rest of my life. That flight was an ALTRV [Sand Eagle] with a flight of seven F-15s and a KC-10 tanker, about fifty aircraft total from various units. As explained to me, these flights were designed to aggravate Cuba but turn short so that Cuba radar controllers become complacent. Then one day, they don't make the turn and proceed into Cuba unopposed! The takeoff was with the five-stage afterburner, and you could feel every one kick in as we accelerated down the runway at 2-Gs acceleration, zoom climb to 18,000, and a barrel roll to join on the left wing of the KC-10. En route, we hooked up and refueled three times prior to Cuba and twice along the coast of Florida. We engaged the Navy in a warning area, one ship had missiles I believe they shot a drone. We pulled seven Gs, and that G-suit really worked, but since I wasn't flying, I couldn't anticipate the turns. I got a little ill but didn't barf! When the pilot gave me the aircraft, the sickness went away. The best part was the flight back to Holloman the next day. The pilot gave me the aircraft from wheels up and the radio. A flight of five took off before us, and we had a wingman that took off with us. The pilot advised our wingman that I had the aircraft, so he stayed about a quarter mile away. I had the main flight on the radar, and the pilot said just follow them. I learned much about altitude handling and the sensitive nature of flight controls and throttle response, which is sluggish at altitude! Our transponder was turned off, which was a good thing because, at one point, I had drifted upward nearly to the altitude of a Southwest jet flying the same direction, though far back, no one would have seen us. The wingman was squawking 4400 with no mode-C. Incredible, to be able actually to handle the aircraft in this manner. Then, upon arrival at Holloman, the flight had landed, and we were set up for approach with our wingman behind us. The pilot advised the tower that we would do a touch-and-go; I was flying the aircraft and reduced power to slow down. The first T&G was difficult, but the pilot also instructed me on airspeed control and handled flaps and gear; I had no access to them. The first go around, I was flying like I was flying my Piper Cherokee, and the pilot said that the tower might question why we were so far away, about two miles. So, the next T&G, I turned at 4-Gs and turned about a two-block radius. The pilot was excited and kept saying, “Hot-shit, hot-shit, that's the way to do it!” I also learned that by pulling hard Gs, I could control the airspeed and slow down. I had the radio too, so I answered all the tower instructions, like I knew what I was doing. LOL! An incredible experience and I was able to log the flight hours so I officially have 21.5 hours in an F-15!

I used to live next door to the former WWII fighter base at North Weald used to hold an annual air show… Vulcan appeared several times! And its sound at low altitude was amazing!!

I was stationed at RAF Mildenhall in the 80s and was regularly on the flightline when the SR71 landed and took off. My neighbor was one of the pilots and it was an amazing thing to see and an honor to have met him.

Excellent video. Vulcan. I saw it while at OTS in San Antonio in 1970. It made me really hope to make it through pilot training after finishing OTS, which I did. I was then fortunate to be able to fly the A7-D before getting out of the USAF after 8 years. The roar of many shown is what makes them so impressive. Such was the case with the Concorde, flying over Kiawah Island, on it's way back to England after dropping off their team for the 1990 Ryder Cup. A definite goose bump moment.

My Dad was in the RCAF and in the early 60s we were stationed in Goose Bay. All the V-bombers often stopped there, as well as countless other planes from all over the world, military and commercial. It was almost an air show every day. But the Vulcan was the favourite of everyone. My best friend's father was very high-ranking and we sometimes were allowed to 'hang out' in the tower. I was there once when a Vulcan took off and went straight up. An American colonel (it was a joint RCAF/USAF base) said, "Hell we have one of those - we call it the Atlas missile". I never forgot that remark. B-52s were also frequent visitors, but they barely cleared the trees on take-off. One wing comes up slowly, then the other wing, then it lumbers into the air. The two ME-109s used in the movie "The Longest Day" even stopped by one day. It was a great place to be when you were a 13 year old boy.

Good day , the Vulcan was part of the “V” bomber force I believe . Which included the Vulcan , Victor and Valiant as part of the United Kingdoms strategic nuclear strike force known officially as V force in the 1950’s 60’s . The Vulcan is probably more better known for its part played in the Falklands conflict of 1982 on "Operation Black buck “ against Argentina in a bid to deny them usage of the runway at Port Stanley . The strategy for refuelling was incredible to say the least as was its calculations which I believe to have been carried out by notepad and pencil at some point mid flight due to changing circumstances and mechanical failures. Very interesting reading .

@@travismiller7596 hi Travis, the Vulcan was a cold war British bomber, typically high altitude (remember this was before surface to air missiles could reach 60,000 feet) their designed job was to scramble get up to height and drop atomic bombs - at altitude, their large wing area actually made them more maneuverable than the interceptors of the day in within visual range. Because they are so large (yet shorter and narrower than a B52) the also seem slow at airshows, but they were one of the most powerful bombers of their day.

We had advance notice so were on a building's roof close to the flightline. Almost an eye level pass! Awesome! 22 years in the USAF. Seen a lot of amazing stuff. When the P-47 two ship "attacked" to three Harriers all landing on the same runway at the same time. This was early 1970's. Wow! Watched the first Space shuttle mission from takeoff on the 747 to landing on its own gear after separation, at Edwards AFB California. It sure looked like that sucker was gonna auger in! Watching T-Birds fly F-4s in Milwaukee during the 60s. Seen a bunch! Looking out the trailing Strato tankers forward windshield in a stacked deployment formation was a time I sure wished for a camera. 3 tankers stacked, all had 4 to 6 fighters flying wing. Amazing. I turned wrenches. It was all a treat! Mach Loop videos are always fun to watch!
