Nice miltary aviation video - enjoy!
One of my clients, a former Naval pilot, just sent this to me.
Some very cool aircraft and a theme that helps keep those who served in our hearts and minds

Amen.
Noticed the B25 of Doolittle's Raiders. I was honored to meet Gen. Doolittle in the late 1980's or early '90 at the EAA in Oshkosh. To hear him talk back then about that first mission was monumental and sent chills thru me.

As usual Baz, another great posting, thanks.
I really love seeing the vintage prop planes flying wing tip to wing tip with the modern jet fighters. Cheers Richard |

G'day!

Thanks for your service Gary!
Thanks Richard - I really loved the Sabre jets too. The opening footage of the Spitfire was a great way to start the video. Also loved the view out the back of the P-38....

That really made me ache with regret, envy and admiration. I volunteered for air service but wasn't healthy enough to meet the requirements. Broke my heart for sure. Heaven bless them all.

Thanks for posting. My Dad's best friend was a B29 pilot in WWII, a memorable guy who taught me how to eat at buffets & allowed me in his camera repair shop as a young boy. I was USAF a couple of years after Sunroof.
