70 years ago today. Take your Garands out for a spin and let freedom ping.

 

Some old warbirds flying over the Lincoln Memorial today

Nice to see a B-29 still flying.

Wow.... 70 years ago today!
I completely forgot.....

 

Once I get home I will put out our American Flag as a respectful gesture to commemorate all of the allied soldiers who made the supreme sacrifice, fighting in the name of freedom and against fascist aggression, as well as the innocent civilians caught in the path of battle.

(Yes, I know there is much more to it than that, but for today’s significant date, that is sufficient….)

 I've watched these old WWII planes numerous times at Cape May Airport and Teterboro Airport. Having them fly over you at very low altitude-couple hundred feet- is the definition of cool!  Walking thru them I too feel like a little kid

Do they have that show in Morristown every year?

Happy Victory Day Everyone!

My grandfather MIA in 1941, at age 40.  My father (he is 88 today, very much alive and well) fought Japan in 1945.  And, my son is in USAF today!

As we approach Memorial Day, those are the folks we should remember, honor and celebrate....

I believe that was a Collings Foundation event.  They move around from year to year; this year the NJ stops seem to be Wall Township and Cape May.

Yup, Collings Foundation. Last year's stops were Wall Twp (Allaire) in the spring and Morristown in the fall.

 

ETA: If you have $3200 you can fly the P51C for an hour (its a 2 seater)!

 

Thanks AVB-AMG.
