Greg,
You got Thunderbirds (USAF) or Blue Angels (USN) ?
When i was MUCH younger I was riding a bike on Highway 83 past Minot
Air Force Base. A fighter jet came over the road to approach the
landing strip. That son of a gun was so low I could tell you the
color of the pilot's EYES!

GM:

This year it's the Blue Angels...and Florence Henderson is "Mistress of
Ceremonies" for the whole shebang...!!!

You guys up in the Dakotas and Montana would have been among the first to be
toast during an all - out US - USSR nuclear exchange, you've lots of bases,
ICBM silos, etc...and Omaha is also a major nexus of military and civilian
communication too, that was a major target.

Hopefully those scary days are over...unless the Russkies get a little bit
too "feisty"...
