Ahhh, man! I would have LOVED to see a Concord take off! Or the Blackbird. That is my VERY favorite plane in the world! I was so ticked when they mothballed it.
My hubby took me to an airplane graveyard once at Sheppard AFB and it was a blast walking among all the planes that were not flying anymore. His favorite that we looked at was the B-66. He loves planes and had to tell me all about it and the others.
My favorite older plane is the Corsair.
You have some wonderful memories and a storytellers way of describing them! :)
Wow! The B-66! I was in the USN early enough to see a few of those fly off the carrier (the A-3 on which the B-66 was based)
We called the “The Whale” because they were so darned big for shipboard operations...:)
