Re: Aerosucre B-727 crash

It seems that YouTube is full of videos of these folks operating from shorter places and places with terrain...

Oh for TOPMS or V-3BS

No More F-4

In the 1960's in suburb-Flyover, we enjoyed the occasional sonic boom, and a couple of cowboy improvised low passes. http://worldwarwings.com/heartbreaking-farewell-final-flight-f-4-phantom/?a=mr&var=finale+flight+of+the+phantom-ww2&utm_campaign=finale+flight+of+the+phantom&utm_source=fa...
