The Air Force Memorial, what a sight! The design, replicating the maneuver of the upward burst of air force jets flying straight up together and fanning outwards into the wild blue yonder, just has to make one proud to be an American. Defending freedom in the skies above.
I only got to see a bit of the flyover, but seeing those incredible planes coming from the horizon and flying over the memorial was really something to see. One was the B52 bomber, which wasn't anything like I thought it would look like. It had a very thin profile which almost makes it invisible to radar and the eye and a shape like a big W all filled in. Don't know how to properly describe it.
Does anyone know about these planes. I thought the B52 was a plump, stodgy looking plane, not like a swept wing delta.
