130 posts and nobody has mentioned one of my favorites: “A Gathering of Eagles”: minimum interval takeoffs by B-52s and massive amounts of black smoke and jet noise!
It was mentioned 50 or so posts ago...This thread is stretching so long things are being missed, but it is a great thread....Thanks to everyone who posted here...
Watching a MITO is one of the most awe inspiring events.
I have seen a few from the ground but my wife got to ride the jump seat of a KC-135 in a eight plane MITO. She was plane number six and said it was quite exciting since they were rolling down the runway in a black cloud and couldn't see a thing until they rotated and veered out of the smoke.
