At the airshow they put out pyrotechnics and do a simulated bombing run. When they set of the charges it looks like real bombs were dropped. It fools a lot of people into thinking it was real.
You'll never beat the airshows we used to have at the end of a deployment. Strafing runs, real bomb drops, and supersonic passes low and close. It makes all other airshows boring in comparison.

...I'd gotten the impression from the words 'sneak pass' that this was an unauthorized fly by. Got it.
Thanks
Very cool. We did that at Andrews in '94 (not sure how many times since), but in '94 the field caught fire and they decided not to do it the year after :lmao: Great part of an airshow! :yay:
