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.

Here is a great video that can be watched in HD of the flight ops around Culpeper, VA today, where the majority of the warbirds were staged out of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEdZafAHG2Q
Here is the C-SPAN coverage (unfortunately not in HD quality): http://www.c-span.org/video/?325808-1/world-war-ii-victory-europe-70th-anniversary-flyover
(The culprit of the TBM Avenger mayday was a hydraulic leak due to a small little crack in one of the hydraulic lines. It was quickly repaired and the aircraft was flown out of Reagan Intl. back to Culpeper, VA (staging airport) already today, and on its way back home.)

Hey John,
Just a little OT but have you are any body else done a paint for the WBS Mustangs for the Long Island Kid?
That is one sharp looking paint job.
Some great footage from Culpeper. I did want to see and hear the Helldiver though, only showed it starting
to taxi out and that was it.
And the FM1 (aka Martlet) was a good looking gal too, like to see that one painted
up on the freeware FM1 or the JustFlight Martlet.

I had three great uncles serve in WWII. One served as an Army Ranger and was in the D-Day invasion, one served in the Big Red One, both survived the war. The other flew P-39s, ironically Dub loved the P-39 in New Guinea but was eventually transitioned to P-38s. He was killed on a training flight. God Bless the Greatest Generation
