I love the "Screaming Sparrow" B25.
The B1 has to be my favourite bomber, Roll on RIAT '06.

Great pictures ! Some mindless drivle from me, I was in the air force ( US ) some 25 years ago. I was stationed at a B-52 base in the U.S., I can remember like it was yesterday, 6 or 7 B-52's lined up, doing an alert take-off. What an incredible rush it was seeing, hearing and smelling that. And tasting it, once the smoke from the water injection hit you.

LOL i know what you mean by taste it. last year at Duxford we have a F86 sabre taxi past us rotated away from so the jet was facing us then the pilot just opened her up! apart from 20 of us almost falling over by the force of the jet the taste was almost as good as a bottle of JD LOL
