Default RE: Low flyover

If all the nay sayer's had their way Tex Johnson would have been fired from Boeing and the 707 airliner/KC-135 tanker would have been disregarded. If we applied today to years ago, we would have never broke the sound barrier or gone to the moon when we did.

Oh well, those were the days before everyone else knew what was better for someone else.

There are some old videos of the Thunderbirds flying so low over the crowd that the ones that did not hit the deck were knocked off of their feet.

Of course...that was also when parents gave kids shotguns and pocket knives as presents for Christmas (which is OK by me).
