I just had a fond memory:
I was semi-obsessed with jets when I was a kid, (knew the names of just about every military aircraft) and my dad and I always went to the Yakima Air Fair.
One year, they advertised that the B2 Spirit (Stealth Bomber) would be performing a fly-by and I was SO excited. I remember the anticipation and the excitement as the announcer said something like, "We just received word that the B2 is about to fly by!" Shortly thereafter he shouted, "Wow! There it went! Did you see it?!"
...a horrible prank!
I was bummed out and many Air Fair viewers were royally peeved. Needless to say, Yakima had to make it up to the audience and the following year they really did have a B2 flyby. It was "TOTALLY RAD!" There was even a small sonic boom (which I heard the pilot was scolded for!)
