LT Ducky 0 Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 I've seen a lot of these pictures before but it seems a lot of new ones have been added.

Corinthian 0 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 So awesome. Great find! The low level B-17 pix are so awesome. Also the story on the low level B-52 carrier flyby was awesome, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shep854 0 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 This pic reminds me of an account of a Jug pilot who was clipping grass when he saw a German soldier directly in front of him. He was so low, that the prop was going to get the soldier. Horrified, he waited for the 'thump', but nothing happened. In his mirror, he saw the soldier still standing there. Against vanishingly small odds, the prop disc apparently crossed the soldier so that he passed between the blades! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zaarin7 0 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Fantastic site Andreas I have book marked and will explore it more. Great photo's all. I was once sitting not all that far from the end of the runway at Seymour Johnson AFB many years ago and a B-52 passed over on final approach low and slow. All the flaps were out and the gear was down. I've been to rock concerts and fired large caliber firearms and it was without doubt the loudest sound I've ever heard.
