It could be as simple as they are just screwing with the South’s heads, “look at how unpredictable I am.. aren’t you afraid?”

Opps, most likely it was 1982

I remember seeing a Vulcan bomber at Transpo 72 (a big airshow here at Dulles Airport in Northern VA). I was a kid but it must have made an impression on me cause it’s the only plane I remember from the whole show! Also in 1981 a friend and I were at Andrews AFB for a show there. I think they had two Vulcan’s there…
