conversation snipped .........

I used to go to the drag races in Las Vegas twice a year. Across the street
is Nellis Air Force Base. At times, Red Flag exercises coincide with the
drags. We get a nice flyover on Sunday, and a jump in by the parachute
team. All sorts of aircraft, and some of them really hot dogging. Some
taking off and going vertical to 30,000 and leveling off. The boomerang
shaped bomber ..... man does that thing go slow. Raptors. Hercules.
Ospreys. Blackhawks. Apaches. A-10's ...... they can do 70 mph lowest
speed. AWACS, all the big planes and a lot of the little hot rods, too. We
stay in the motorhome area, and get a lot of close looks.
