Let us know what the strange bird is once you've identified it muffett. I'm keen to hear.

As for airshows., I sure miss the days when the aircraft flew on the deck, and the viewing was up close to the runway. Nothing like watching, and hearing, a Vulcan do a slow curving pass with bay doors open across show centre at what seemed like 50 feet. Also enjoyed the show where the announcer directed everyone's attention out across the field, so that the CF-101 Voodoo could come bolting overhead from behind at a huge rate of knots - silently, it seemed, until he lit the afterburners right overhead.
