Each year, my son and I visit the USAF Museum in Dayton Ohio. The past 2 years, I have taken a video camera and grabbed some images.

This is a great day and I encourage you to visit if you ever have the opportunity.

My thanks to 'TAT' for the generous use of her digital "battery munchin' " camera!

(Images are difficult to take because many of the planes are so close together and and the lighting is 100% flourecent.)
