• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I enjoyed watching that. I note they lost #3 shortly after takeoff. I also watched the second video that was linked to, where the B17 now has new engines and 3-bladed props.

They also were flying with eight (well, seven actually) other fighter aircraft models. Sadly, one of them crashed just after takeoff and was destroyed. :frown-new:

A couple of the fighter's even had "smoke generators" installed. My goodness, it looked like a "war movie" with all those planes screaming around the sky. Even the engines sounded good!
