One question: Was it ironic that you just listed the P-51 as "some plane" where it perhaps is a very famous one or what?

I'm with you Frankie, looksw like just a "bunch" of "plain ol planes" to me, where are the helicopters??  ::whistle:: ::whistle::

Super Nice pictures Gil---wish I could of been there to see that many Thunderbolts in one bunch |:)\ ::bow::

There was also a simulated WW2 battle. A bunch of enthusiasts brought in trucks and tanks from both sides of the conflict, and had a mock battle in a field just off of the airport. Really well done. The P-47's participated by doing straffing runs on the German positions! Really good!!

Nice indeed, but what on earth type of Mustang was that?? A two-seat trainer? I've never seen that type before.

Looks like a P-51B to me.  Has that straight razorback type canopy.

Oh one more thing. Might as well put this here. For those who don't know, I work recycling trucks, doing curbside pickup. Today I picked up from an old thrift store. They put out books in the recycling that no one buys. I was looking through, and I found a book about Charles Lindbergh from 1928 in there!! Only a year after his flight!! But alas, in accordance to the recycling rules of hardcover books, the cover was torn off!! :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( I searched in vain to find that cover, but no luck. Well I took the book anyways (stealing from the company). Even missing some pages  ::complaining: ::complaining: ::complaining:: Some good pictures in there though. Not relevant to the topic, but still..... :'( :'( :'( :'(

Gil, you can always take the book to a book-binder and have them recover it for you.  I've done that with several rare books for my parents.
