    In case anyone missed it, the Air Force and the National Guard are going to perform a flyover today in both New Orleans & Baton Rouge to show support for healthcare workers! Around 9:00 today in New Orleans and around Noon in Baton Rouge.

    2ea B-52's and 2ea F-15's at low altitude!

    If you haven't seen a real B-52 in person, you do not want to miss this!!! It should be a spectacular sight!

    Please make your young kids get out and see this. This may be the last time you might ever see an actual B-52 in flight!

    Can't wait!

    If you are inside and hear a jet with engines that have a much higher pitch than you are used to hearing then that is them. Go outside and see it. Their engines sound more like a shrill scream than the rumble that other jets sound like.

    Unlike the Viet Cong, you won't here the whistling sound of bombs raining down on you shortly thereafter! :mamoru:

    I worked off and on in the Shreveport-Bossier area for 6 years. I used to go park on a little road just short of the approach end of Rwy 15 at Barksdale and watch them fly about 200 feet over my head while they were on short final. They used to go around the pattern over and over during training with usually two in the pattern at at time. Once every three or four minutes one would fly overhead.

    Thanks for the reminder , I'll stop my Laundry Chores and walk outside and see what I can see. Lots of trees around here but I'm not far from the Mid City B.R. General Hospital on Florida Blvd. , if they fly over I will see something ... I don't think I've ever seen a B52 airborne ... Cool !!!
    you would think I'm a kid instead of 70 years old... but somethings , like seeing war planes flying , just never get old !

    They deviated from the flight plan! :eek4: On the first pass after coming back across the River from Addis, they went all the way East and passed right over Airline and Pecue. Obviously that was for Women's Hospital, but they are not even on the list. Of course we were already back inside and missed the best view of all for us. I'm kind of pissed!

    Who the hell called that audible? That is kind of disheartening and concerning!
