I've posted this before somewhere but it has to have been an outstanding fly-past by anyone's standards...

Early 80's. A B52 en-route Guam-Exmouth and return is enticed down to give the faithful at a local air pageant at Port Hedland (northern Western Australia) a thrill. The Buff's departure was via r/w 18, by agreement with the twr at "not above 100". Swept the r/w and many hectares of surrounding spinifex clean, then pulled up steeply over the departure threshold for a rapid, smokey and noisy climb!
