Great old planes!
Good video.

Last time I saw any of this stuff was a air show in 1976 in Colorado Springs. Put on by then Confederate Air Force.

That is a great video. I am spoiled though as a P-51 flies pretty regularly over the house.
I was at Hagerstown,Md a couple of months ago at a place that fixes trucks and happened to look up and there was a Mustang flying over ,a few moments later a B17 flew over .
Awesome. Still pisses me off very few are left intact. Our gov't sells beauty and history for scrap.
Thanks for the video. I absolutely love old WW-II warbirds (my favorite is the P-51D Mustang).
My dad was a nose gunner in a B24-J bomber:
and here's my dad in 1943... all of 18 years old:
He was a Staff Sergeant when he got out... amazing when you figure that usually 2 out of 3 guys didn't make it home alive.
He got shot down 3 times and had to bail out (thankfully always over Allied territory) and got a head wound that earned him a Purple Heart (as well as quite a few other medals).
