The electricity at 1:45 literally brings me to tears! Bravo, Maestro! :)

[@billofwrights7695]

2:54 A B-2, an F-117, and an F-22!
Three of the most iconic stealth aircraft in the same flyover! Incredible!

Frances Scott Key would approve. Three disapproves by talaban, Isis and Hitler.

[@riceymartin2203]

Sounds Star Wars-ified, which is always an epic affair

[@BoeingB17FF]

Well it...Williams?

[@riceymartin2203]

@@BoeingB17FF Yes. That John Williams.

[@BoeingB17FF]

@@riceymartin2203 Given Williams' background and tendency for marches, I tend to think if it as 'Williams'd". If it weren't for things like Schindler's List, I'd think he was marches-only. Either way, he's the only composer I like post-1900. Baroque, Classical, Romantic, nothing, John Williams!

[@vince065us]

THIS SLAMS!

[@admiralpotatoii9833]

That was amazing. 'Nuff said.

[@nesbittboy17]

[@DarthVader87]

O_O awesome!!!!!

[@Taykage]

c: just to think I was in there

[@vince065us]

How much time did they have to get this done prior to the game?

[@dukeofrodtown1705]

It would've been weeks of rehearsal. I mean, it's John Williams, so he'd expect nothing but immaculate professionalism and quality over quantity.

[@ChaserAceGaming]

MURICA!

0 dislikes. Just the way it should be

[@riceymartin2203]
