I didn't realize this was happening until I ran across it on a search. 70 vintage planes flying over the most restricted airspace in the world. Should be cool. For the first time since 21 Jan 2009, I wish I was in DC.

In a more sane and mature nation, such an event would be an annual dealing.

In a more sane and mature nation, that is...

That’s one reason I still envy Britain and their rememberances of their honored soldiers past and present.

I’ll always honor them, Sarge.

My old man was Airborne, twice combat wounded, in Europe. His brothers and cousins were in the Pacific.

They’re never gone as long as one of us remembers them all, and tells new generations.

Woof, Dawg Brother...

Like museums, I guess vintage aviation flyovers aren’t for minorities either.
