Absolutely amazing. I'll take that over a five-day rafting trip any day of the week.

At 2:00 into it, they fly right by Vulcan's Anvil.

That pretty much takes your breath away.

And this was back in the late 50's/early 60's with no support from any sort of autopilot/TFR. Just real, seat-of-your-pants flying.

These guys could have easily blown up the first Death Star and probably could have taken out the second one as well.

These guys were low and close and those T-33s didn't have TFR. A pilots pilot indeed. Awesome!

Thanks Bill
