Current list has the B-1 yanked. The Mig-23 is worth the drive alone! I'll see you there Scott.

the 23 is a awesome plane defineately. They have amazing power. the ones I have spoken about before that are at SRQ once during a runup testing the engine we had them chocked with the big big metal chocks plus rubber ones in front of them and parking brakes set. The mechanics ran her up and without even going into afterburner she skidded pushing chocks and all about 3 feet with brakes set. That is one powerful and LOUD airplane.
