MiG's Over America: MiG-15, MiG-17, and MiG-21

This is footage of a pair of MiG-17's, and one MiG-21 performing at an American airshow in the late 1990's, and a beautiful MiG-15 parked static at the same event, all privately owned by American pilots.

A great formation flyby by the now retired F-117 Nighthawk and its matching black painted T-38 Talon from Holloman, AFB in New Mexico. This footage was shot in March of 1998 at the Cox Communication Air Show Spectacular in Mesa, Arizona at Williams Gateway Airport.

Rare Jets: F-8 Crusader, F-104 Starfighter, and F-5 Freedom

Check out this video of a static display from a 1998 air show in Phoenix, Arizona including three classic fighter jets from the U.S. Navy and Air Force:  The F-8 Crusader, F-5 Freedom, and the F-104 Starfighter.  The F-104 and F-8 are privately owned and the F-5 was from an Aggressor Squadron.

Screaming, popping, smoking and fire belching 300MPH Jet Truck!

By far, the best ground based entertainment you can get for an air show is Les Shockley's Jet powered Peterbuilt truck. It's an amazing piece of machinery.  Burning down the runway, or race strip, at close to 350MPH, it's hard not to be in awe of this machine. I'm not a huge fan of crazy ground based motorsports - but Les will make you a fan. Watch this video of Shockwave flying by a Mesa, Arizona crowd, and listen to the sound of his machine.  Impressive.
