hitman Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 The big birds are flying around today (mainly B-52H strats), and Ive never seen em floating around here before. Are there any airshows out here that I need to know about, or are the Strats doing turnovers before they hit flyable storage? I didnt know Shreiver had a heavy bomber wing...

Guest IguanaKing Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 I wasn't aware of a Bomber wing being there either. Are they all going in and out of Peterson or something? Have you been able to see any tail codes?
hitman Posted August 8, 2006 Author Posted August 8, 2006 No this bird was flying between 10k and 12k altitude, possibly as low as 5k, just doing lazy turns across westside of town here, probably just one, but I think there were 2. I know it was a -52H cuz of the tail guns. Not cammied up just a ghost grey scheme. Thats all I know.

Guest IguanaKing Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 The west side of town? Hmmm...any idea when the first day of BCT at the Academy is? Maybe its some welcome demo for the new Basic's and their families dropping them off.
hitman Posted August 8, 2006 Author Posted August 8, 2006 Well here they (it?) was flying just outside of Manitou Springs then headed Northwest and just circled over Red Rock Canyon for about 30-45 minutes burning some fuel I guess. I thought the Academy was closer to Security and Fountain...but Ive been wrong numerous times before!! Think the Academy started taking more cadets in just the last couple of weeks...Hell graduation was pretty spectacular since the Thunderbirds were in town for that.

Guest IguanaKing Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Oh yeah...whoops...I forgot you were on the SouthWest end of the area. No idea then. Joint exercises with the 3rd ACR at Carson maybe?
hitman Posted August 8, 2006 Author Posted August 8, 2006 Guess that would be it if it stays here longer than just today...I would expect to see some A-10s doing formation around here during a joint excersize, I HAVE seen that here before. But why a single or a pair of BUFF's? Ill ask around and see wtf.
