There have been some visiting RST before, but this is the first time I've been able to get so close to one flying over. <br />I'll keep Midland/Odessa and the Confederate Air Force on my list of places to visit after retirement....RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-64807811115797672092009-07-23T13:37:42.364-05:002009-07-23T13:37:42.364-05:00Those are so cool.

It's hard to imagine the sound of a few hundred of those flying over like it was in England during the war. Doubt you would ever get to the Midland/Odessa, TX area, but the Confederate Air Force is there and they have a bunch of the old planes in flying condition.<br /><br />Cali BroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-2112234723288329692009-07-20T14:36:12.604-05:002009-07-20T14:36:12.604-05:00Thanks Heidi.

Those clouds look kind of ominous, but we've only had a few sprinkles out of them.<br /><br />You got that right Mama Pea! It's amazing to see how different the "old" warbirds are from what's being used today too.RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-80447788580163849332009-07-17T15:18:46.655-05:002009-07-17T15:18:46.655-05:00How "strange" it is to see a plane with ...How "strange" it is to see a plane with propellors these days!<br /><br />Great video!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4854762792778878452.post-67953837866197753952009-07-17T15:04:56.705-05:002009-07-17T15:04:56.705-05:00What a heck of a Skywatch Friday post Ruthie.
