I enjoyed looking through all the pics and the way that each aircraft had been customized with paintings on the fuselage. Thank you for posting.

Also at your link:
A soldier firmly requests that the crowd "maintain a level of silence and respect" at the Tomb of the Unknown solider because some people were laughing disruptively. He didn't yell but he certainly made sure his voice carried to the audience.

Tomb of the unknown - soldier yelling at laughing crowd

How long before some assclown “ demand” we erase this history? Thanks to those who rebuilt and made these airworthy.

Beginning around 1958, I would go to a high spot in my parents pasture and watch DC-3s of Southern Airlines fly to and from Eglin and Atlanta.

Also see F-100s, etc. Later F-104s, F-105s and then F-4s, Diving and stafing at a bombing range not too far away. I would see those planes dive then a few seconds later hear the roar of a Vulcan and often the thump and sound of bombs.

I would then see the fighters soar to a high altitude then repeat or another plane do it.

I met one of the guys who was (at the time) working on, “That’s All Brother,” for the CAF when I went to go see Dunkirk on film at an IMAX theater. We had a pretty interesting conversation before and after the movie. I sure hope he gets to ride along for this one.

Those photos are great. The beautiful aircraft make them great.

I occasionally see a DC3 carrying cargo.

My father was a C-47 pilot in WW2. He flew in the CBI, where he was awarded the DFC, and North Africa theaters. He had rotated back to the States before 6/6/44.

RIP, Dad. I miss you.

I have a great uncle who parachuted into Normandy on D-Day but I can’t find out anything about him.
