The second of two overflights made by a USAF B-1 Lancer supersonic bomber

Looks like there's some water vapor condensed on the B-1's wings from the transsonic flight Next up would've been this Vickers Vimy WW1 heavy bomber...

Everything was still going smoothly as the bomber lined up for takeoff... ...but then a gust of wind caused the plane to swerve off the runway during the takeoff run! (now I don't have to feel bad about my taildragger mishaps in X-Plane, hehe) Luckily the accident wasn't any worse...

...but rescue vehicles were still dispatched just in case The Great War display had to start without the Vimy bomber
