The '99 show was as spectacular as ever, with the star of the show, a USAF B2 Stealth bomber, getting all the attention. When she took off all the spectators surged forward to see her on the runway, it was quite a spectacle. There were the various fighters, bombers, a load of C-130's and a C5. A friend of mine from Blackbushe was there with his DC3, it was good to see it at such a major event.
