USAF Gold, Part 1, featured the US Air Forces Anniversary display at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada. The biggest annual USAF show in Europe is "Air Fete" at Mildenhall in England. This video draws together the highlights of the '96, '97 and '98 events.
A full line-up of US types includes the B2A Spirit 'stealth bomber' and the UK flying debut of the F117A Nighthawk. Also featured are B1, B52, C5, C17, C130, F15, F16, A10, MH53 and more including The Thunderbirds display team.
Other air forces contribute some rare and spectacular performers: a Mig29 and F4 Phantom from Germany, F18 Hornet from Spain, F5 Tiger II's from Switzerland and Mil24 'Hind' Gunships from the Czech Republic.
Several National aerobatic teams and some important historical types combine to present a fitting tribute to the USAF on it's 50th Anniversary.
