I has permission to take my 2 boys aboard a Vulcan. Just the three of us. What a beautiful aircraft. One of my son was stationed in England flying A-10`s and he took me to Ducksford??? to a airshow. Went aboard your SST. I am old now and can not remember its real name. I was a boom operator in a KC-135. Got to see the world many times over with the SR-71.Lots of time at Mildenhall. Take care.

Duxford (as in "Duke's Ford"), it's still a working air museum/air field near to Cambridge with the original WW2 style brick buildings. During the war it was in use and still gets military jets sometimes outside of air shows. Mildenhall is generally larger and gets the big American jets I like to see ... and Crispy Creme donut trucks. That's where they do all the trade shows and the politicians decide to buy jets and missiles. But there's a very nice collection of jets in the Duxford hangars, some you get to go inside. I think the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight might be based there. Grew up nearby so I got to see it a fair few times, passed by it on the way to school hundreds of times.

In 1991 in Huntsville Alabama, on Veterans day, there was a fly by of a B-52 and other assorted jets. When I first saw them, they were like a mile high, was disappointed, so I went home. Not 30 minutes later, as I was sitting on my front porch, I saw a B-52 in the distance coming right towards me. It didn't take long to get to me and came screaming over where I was sitting, maybe 700 to 1000 feet high going at least 450mph. Shook the ground, rattled my windows and was gone in seconds. That was the best low level flight I have ever seen!

Hey, I'm from HSV, too :) One of the best shows I've been to was in Pensacola back in the late 80s or very early 90s. There was a *lot* going on at it because there are other bases within range so lots of military planes were flying through just for fun. One of the best was a B52... I first saw this speck drop out of the clouds a really long ways away. I knew it had to be something big because it was so far away. It slowly kept getting bigger and then the other stuff flying around disappeared (giving the B52 space) and eventually the B52 came right over the tarmac at only a couple/few hundred feet high with all gear/flaps down, etc. Once he got half way down the runway, he picked up all the gear and flaps and pushed the throttles to the stops and climbed back up into the clouds. I swear you could see rocks bouncing on the concrete. Another show I lucked into (didn't know it was going on, was driving by and we saw the activity and just pulled over to watch) was in Ft. Lauderdale in the early 2000s (maybe around 2005?) right at nightfall so you could see the light from the engines when they were burning, etc. We were walking to the viewing area and one of the planes did one of the high speed "sneak up on the crowd being really loud" tricks and flew right over our heads at just a few hundred feet. This time, though, it was a B1B with afterburners going. That was pretty wild.

My Dad was in the RCAF and in the early 60s we were stationed in Goose Bay. All the V-bombers often stopped there, as well as countless other planes from all over the world, military and commercial. It was almost an air show every day. But the Vulcan was the favourite of everyone. My best friend's father was very high-ranking and we sometimes were allowed to 'hang out' in the tower. I was there once when a Vulcan took off and went straight up. An American colonel (it was a joint RCAF/USAF base) said, "Hell we have one of those - we call it the Atlas missile". I never forgot that remark. B-52s were also frequent visitors, but they barely cleared the trees on take-off. One wing comes up slowly, then the other wing, then it lumbers into the air. The two ME-109s used in the movie "The Longest Day" even stopped by one day. It was a great place to be when you were a 13 year old boy.

As we watched we noticed the assembled families on the viewing platforms all looking distracted, pointing behind us and looking away from the podium where he was speaking..... this was shortly followed by a low whistling noise, barely audible at first but very quickly rising, then to our shock and awe from behind us a Vulcan escorted by two Harriers passed directly overhead at low level, and within a second or two of doing so, all three pulled up into a near vertical climb, and I have NEVER experienced or should I say FELT noise like it !!!

Vulcan. Saw it twice in real life. About 30 years ago driving past an airfield in Lincolnshire UK. It came very low across the road, then the pilot pointed it up and gunned the engines. I was amazed that the old Datsun that I was in did not shake apart. Then another time at an airshow in Norfolk. The sight, noise, vibration are indescribable.

Vulcan the best of an amazing collection. I was at The Farnborough Air Show in the 70s. It came in at very low level in front of the crowd. The ground just shook and the elegance of this beauty has never been bettered in my opinion. A wonderful thing to behold. Timeless.

I used to live just seven miles from Farnborough and went to the air show every year starting around 1960. I recall the Vulcan making the ground shake too. She broke the sound barrier one year and shattered a few windows in the area. But what a beautiful plane! I agree with you. The Vulcan is matchless.

Our B1B Lancer is a pig of an bomber but has the capabilities of sweeping wings and outrunning almost anything. The Vulcan is beautiful and majestic but what’s the purpose.

Good day , the Vulcan was part of the “V” bomber force I believe . Which included the Vulcan , Victor and Valiant as part of the United Kingdoms strategic nuclear strike force known officially as V force in the 1950’s 60’s . The Vulcan is probably more better known for its part played in the Falklands conflict of 1982 on "Operation Black buck “ against Argentina in a bid to deny them usage of the runway at Port Stanley . The strategy for refuelling was incredible to say the least as was its calculations which I believe to have been carried out by notepad and pencil at some point mid flight due to changing circumstances and mechanical failures. Very interesting reading .

@@travismiller7596 hi Travis, the Vulcan was a cold war British bomber, typically high altitude (remember this was before surface to air missiles could reach 60,000 feet) their designed job was to scramble get up to height and drop atomic bombs - at altitude, their large wing area actually made them more maneuverable than the interceptors of the day in within visual range. Because they are so large (yet shorter and narrower than a B52) the also seem slow at airshows, but they were one of the most powerful bombers of their day.

He pulled up into a vertical climb over our flight deck and just kept going, straight up, until he disappeared. The noise, being directly below him, was tremendous. An amazing aircraft.

One of the most beautiful maneuvers I've EVER seen was back in the '70's in Ft. Smith, AR. It was showing off the (I believe) F-15. Everyone was out at the airfield just waiting. All of a sudden we heard a 'roar' and this jet comes zooming across the field and then just aims heavenward--- straight up, until we could just barely see it. Then we could see it roll over and come down... it came down and then came down more and I'm standing there watching, thinking--- O GOOD GRIEF- he's going to crash! Then when he was maybe 250 feet off the ground, he did an almost 90 degree turn, flattened out and took off.. IT WAS FANTASTIC to see!

I've worked on quite a few of those B-52D models. They have a very distinct sound all their own. I was in my office at Vandenberg AFB where they had no planes of their own when I heard a plane coming. I started out of my office and one of my co-workers asked where I was going and I replied I was going outside to watch the B-52 go by. She was skeptical that I could identify it just by it's sound. I enjoyed her astonishment that I could identify a plane that way. I worked at Davis Monthan AFB while in the service and they trained U-2 pilots there. Every takeoff is a 45 degree climb. I also knew on of the instructors there and he told me about having a flame out about 250 miles east of the Florida coast. He said he radioed in that his engine was out and he wanted a straight in landing approach. They asked if he wanted search and rescue sent out and got a bit testy with them and said "No! I need landing instructions." He landed it at McCoy AFB, dead stick after gliding 250 miles. That B-2 has almost exactly the same wingspan as the XB-35 designed by Jack Northrop in 1941 and exactly the same angle of the sweep of the wing leading edge. Where would our aircraft be by now if Symington hadn't ordered them scrapped because his buddies ran Convair. Check out this wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_YB-35

The only problem was if you had to bale out, the Pilot and Co-Pilot had ejection seats and those of us in the back would have to bale out by sliding down the access hatch. During the flight, I asked the Navigator if anyone had ever survived a bale out through the access hatch and they all laughed at me. I took that as a no.

Got to be the Vulcan for me. Born and raised where they were stationed, in the 60's...when they took off, anything in the house that wasn't nailed down, rattled and fell off the shelves 😂 A very powerful, beautiful aircraft.

I love anything loud! I once saw and heard a Concorde take off from Toronto, ON. The air crackled so loud, it would of drowned out thunder!

The greatest flyby I ever witnessed in person was at an airshow around 20 years ago. It involved two air craft built around 80 years apart. The newer one was a Harrier. The elder one was a biplane with some upgrades. First the Harrier did some demonstrations then hovered in place. Then the biplane matched it perfectly and while the Harrier remained hovering in the same spot, the biplane came up along side it and the two of them just stayed there together barely moving while we stood for the national anthem. I think I was about 100 feet from both as they took up positions almost right in front of us. Then both just gradually rose up into the air and very slowly, slower than I would normally walk, flew over our heads maybe at about 200-300 feet altitude. After they landed we got to visit both air craft. Honorable mention should go to the pilots flying FA 18's who "bowled" for us knocking down "pins" with their wings on an air strip. The first one bowled a strike but the other one had to pick up a spare.

If the biplane was a Sopwith then the same man, Sir Tom Sopwith, was behind both the makers (Sopwith Aviation and Hawker Siddley). Now there's a thought, Sir Tom Sopwith saw 'his' 'planes see off Kaiser Bill, Adolf, Benito, Hirohito and Galtieri and he lived to 1989.

Great compilation, thanks! The Vulcan flyby over the Channel is amazingly beautiful, it provides a good illustration of how camo does the trick for a low-flying strategic bomber. One quick note, though: the airplane @ 12:38 is NOT a U2, but a TR1 (a later version of the U2, easily recognizable from its underwing pods).

Absolutely loved this video. Well done. I think the "blue tone" was my favorite part, followed by the Vulcan doing maneuvers over the ocean just off the cliff. What a beautiful place to watch an air show. I also loved watching them land just above the people's heads. If there was an air base that you tried to do that here in the states, you'd be at rifle point within 30 seconds of stopping your car. That is a fact. Ask me how I know. 😉😉

Not entirely true, just depends what kind of area you're doing that. I remember stopping by one field as a kid to watch stuff like C-130s and C5As doing touchdowns for practice.
