Thacker) Organization: Old Pink, Care of the Funny Farm Lines: 40 Approved: military@att.att.com From: pfloyd@wpi.wpi.edu (The Floydian Slip) I just went to the Westover AFB Airshow on Friday, July 27. I absolutely loved it! However, no F-117A showed up. There were (on the flight demonstration): B-1B Lancer (with Ghost Rider painted on the side -- Big Hint to all Wingman readers out there) FB-111 Aardvark C-5 Galaxy C-130H Hercules (Herky-Bird) F-16 x2 Panavia Tornado x2 (Luftwaffe) F-4E Phantom x2 (Luftwaffe) A-10 Thunderbolt x2 (from Barnes, Mass) Snowbirds (small demonstartion due to fuel limitations) F-18 Hornet TA-4 Skyhawk Golden Knights (Black Team) Rappelers Static Line Paradrop (10th Special Forces, Ft. Devens, MA) That's all I can remember right now until I gte what pictures I was able to take are developed. It was a very good show, what with all the aircraft on the static display area and pilots out there to answer any questions. pfloyd@wpi THEORY: If anyone ever discovers what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely complex. COROLLARY: This has already happened.
