Wholly crap! How did I miss this thread Cyrus?! Pretty good pics I must say.

I can tell you that seeing the B-24, 25 and 17 on the ground is nice, but we had an airshow here last year that had 6 B-17's flying overhead. In formation. It was friggin' awesome. It was also very awe inspiring in the fact that I was looking at 6 going overhead and back in WWII, there would have been hundreds. I simply can not imagine the sensory overload one must have had.

That was a good airshow by the looks of it.

Props for the MH-47E pic. You got a picture of the pinnacle of aviation.
