Once WW2 ended is when the Hitler's head rocket scientist created NASA and the whole pop culture phenomenon of outer space started and it's all because that's when UFO technology started being reverse engineered and applied to the designs of things like fighter jets

I've seen most of these aircraft displaying or otherwise passing by. The most memorable for me were the Lancaster and the BBMF overlying my parents home one Sunday afternoon. A Canberra displaying on the coast. It kept overflying the headland we were sitting on and the noises it made were amazing. And finally the Red Arrows on the same headland. They were using it for cover, along with the low cloud base, to 'sneak up' on the spectators. Was amazing.

Quite a few years ago at Edwards AFB there was a flyby of a B-52, FB-111, and a B-1. Then the B-1 came by low and slow, setting off car alarms. Then after everyone reset their alarms, I came back for another pass, setting off alarms again. Dad once said the loudest noise he ever heard were two B-52s taking off along with a KC-135 tanker plane with water injection.

Propellers in videos may appear to move slowly due to the relationship between the propeller's speed and the camera's frame rate. For example, if the propellers are moving at 9,000 revolutions per minute (RPM) and the camera records at 150 frames per second, the propellers will appear stationary.

Some great footage there - some from Fairford if I’m not mistaken? Seeing those Lancasters and B-17 always makes me wonder and lament the fact that, even though they were so vital and iconic a relatively short time ago, they and so many others have been left to rot away and disappear until only one or two airworthy examples remain. If we could turn back time, would we not want to preserve them by the dozen?
