I have heard P51s go by low and WOW, but I would really love to have heard the four Merlins in mutt_kahuna’s Lancaster (page 1) !!
A good friend of mine was an EWO on a Navy Reserve P2 Neptune years ago and told me a story of one of their cross country flights. They were bored and started talking to truckers over Kansas. After figuring out that their chat buddy was 30 miles ahead of them the dropped down to the deck and the conversation went like this:
(trucker) "What's your 20?"
(Neptune) "We're coming up on your back door."
(trucker) "Ain't nobody behind me."
(Neptune) "I'll give you a count, 10, 9, ... 1, ZERO" and they flew over him at 50 ft. The trucker almost went in the ditch, so they decided that they had better get back up to altitude.
