Okay, the landing of the shuttle is cool, but the skill and balls of the T-38s is amazing. Formation flying a few feet above the ground, then landing at a really high speed for the plane. Impressive!

Yep, that's Enterprise. I was working in a bar across from campus...we had the TV on, the rabbit ears up, and all watching this intently. I don't think today that younger people realize what a Big Deal the Shuttle flights were...it was a huge deal.
