Cool Amberley Airshow

At the absolute disaster of an airshow at RAAF Amberley due to record rainfalls in the late 90's, two B1's full fuel were departing for home. After departure they conducted an instrument approach so the could find the place again for the beatup, having cleaned up prior to the missed approach subsequently proceeded to smoke the joint and went verticle with a nice vertical roll to boot. Definately worth having the anorak on that day (apart for the rain of course hyuck hyuck!....spotter joke).

Have seen the B1 boys out here in the desert doing some good poop as well after an exersize a few years ago prior to the Afghan ops. Cranked up they sure do rattle the teeth! (and some presidential villas in Baghdad too me thinks)



And before you say anything "Douglas Driver" or I "Want My Hud Back" I am allowed one spotter post a month to get it out of my system!
