  • FYI: I mispoke on the video... saying that Offutt was an emergency landing site for the shuttle. That emergency landing site in Nebraska is actually the Lincoln Municipal Airport which has a nearly 13,000 foot long runway.

  • Hey there, Do you live close to the landing strip? I was just wondering because here in England I live approx 5 miles from Elvington Airfield (ex RAF) and it too is a NASA emergancy strip due too it's 3000 metre runway. If you've seen Topgear it's where the 280mph jet car accident happened and also has a museum with the only working halifax bomber and a victor nuclear bomber.

  • I don't live close to Offutt, however my father-in-law (who being former military... was able to get us on to the base) lives within sight of it.

    You might be interested to know that Offutt used to be home to a wing of the RAF as well. They flew Avro Vulcans out of here as recently as the 80's.

    Not coicidentally, there is a Vulcan on display at the Strategic Air and Space Museum west of Omaha.

  • @legolord575 Especially at airshows, it's so annoying, and the little kids crying when you hear the roar of the awesome F-16 or some fighter jet.

  • Wish I could of been their to seen that. Unfortunately I dont have a military ID, so I can only get on the base for air shows pretty much.

  • Listen to all the idiot kids in the background going OOOH AWESOME AAAHH IT'S GONNA HIT US MOMMY!

  • wow!

  • Bet that's a bitch to parallel park.

  • Yeah, dont get me wrong, i see your point, but its not irony, its more like coincidence

  • Learn the definition of getting the point without being a wiseass.

  • Learn the definition of irony.

  • Not really.
