Great days.
The first time my missus ever went to an airshow was when we first met, 1997, what an event that was, Reds, Thunderbirds, Frecces, Patrouiles de France, Patrouiles de Suisse, Turks, B-2, F-117, fantastic weather too, must have been the USAF 50th anniversary, one of the best airshows ever.
Yes,it was the 50th,the calendar cover that year was dark blue,the crest title was “Fifty And Forward”,which included colour photo’s.It was also the 50th anniversary of supersonic flight and on show was a mock-up of Glamorus Glennis,the first plane my son “fell in love with” after seeing The Right Stuff.Still got one of the celebratory plastic bags (how sad am I ?)
Also remember the B2 Spirit fly-by escorted by 2 Eagles:eek: .
My burger was always “wet”,washed down with a beer,fished out of a large bath of iced water.
