00-4016 (OT) With no flying B-1,B-2,B-52 and F-117 in my opinion this was the highlight of the Nellis Aviation Nation Air Show 2005: The USAF heritage flight with three famous fighters: Mustang P-51 N151AF, Phantom QF-4E 74-0665 and the modern Raptor. A sight to remember! (mehr von 00-4016)

79-10782 (ED) How happy everybody was to see this beautifully painted Stealth during this amazing display. And it was a once in a lifetime experience, since this fully hand made prototype was wearing this scheme for the 2nd and last time of its career, after the Edwards show it has been transferred from Palmdale to Holloman and will be used as a ground test bed only in the future. This aircraft suffered also a landing accident back in Jan 82, when it recovered onto a bed of foam, following the loss of the nosewheel. (mehr von 79-10782)
