    NAS Kingsville air show last weekend, it was refered to as the worlds smallest aircraft carrier landing. I believe he actually 3 pointed for a second before pulling up.

    Nor I, but I am old enough to remember the Battlewagon Mighty Mo 'landing' on a shoal heading into port in Norfolk in 1950. Took "All the King's horses & all the King's men", to get her afloat again!:eek:

    re: big mo.

    the reason you can't be skipper more than 3 years is that nobody can stay awake any longer than that.

    A few from the 70th Anniversary of the Doolittle Raiders. Festivities included a 20 aircraft B-25 flyby.

    A little quick math says that in this configuration this beauty could spit out as many as 6,600 50 cal rounds per min. What a nightmare for the bad guys on the ground.

    re:"Phantom: one of the phew jets that could phly phormation with the phreakishly phast Blackbird..."

    In another famous SR-71 story, Los Angeles Center reported receiving a request for clearance to FL 600 (60,000ft). The incredulous controller, with some disdain in his voice, asked, “How do you plan to get up to 60,000 feet? The pilot (obviously a sled driver), responded, “We don’t plan to go up to it; we plan to go down to it.” He was cleared.

    Often while on liberty trips down to Naha I'd see this bird taking off and landing at Kadina. The Habu was a wicked looking thing.
