During flag, I'd call up my buddy at Nellis tower and figure out when the B-1s would be launching for the night sorties.. My boss would ride up front in the king air and we'd park in a block alt underneath the FYTTR one departure restrictions and watch those bad boys get out of there on burners..

Man, I miss fun flying

Holy smokes!!!!
