the corsair, the hellcats, the lancaster, ... , what great old birds.
it brings tears to my eyes to see them fly.
my favorite thing at airshows? the jets? the huge transports?
nope, it is that rare occasion when a p-51 does a low high speed pass down the runway, full throttle. my lord, the sweet sound of that big rolls merlin at full song, in one of the best prop fighters that ever flew.
p-51, spitfire, me-109, p-47, ... , take your pick.
Very nice. Very positive coverage. They didn't mention either crash that happened; the Triplane nosed over while taxiing after landing, and a Skyraider collided with a P-51 in midair. P-51 crashed, pilot bailed out safely. Skyraider lost half a wing but landed Ok.
