That B-1B will set off car alarms for miles on afterburners. Looks like a pretty good show, the wing droop on that B-52 is amazing.

Amazing with those B-2s, never understood how those things could fly at the low speed that they can actually operate...

That B52 is iconic, over 50 years in service?

At the airshow we were told the B-52 is slated to remain in service until 2050. That would make a service life of about 95 years.
