Seth Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 I apologize if I missed the thread where this was located, but I couldn't find it in the search function. On Friday, May 8th beginning at 12:10 PM, 15 formations of WWII aircraft will fly over the Lincoln Memorial to the Capital along the Mall in Washington DC at 1000 feet. These will include dozens of historic aircraft representing turning points, theaters, and various aspects of World War II. The final formation will be a missing man formation. Here is the link for more information. I'm going to be down on the Mall somewhere to watch. http://ww2flyover.org/ The formations are: 1. Trainers 2. Pearl Harbor 3. Doolittle Raid 4. Guadalcanal Campaign 5. Battle of Midway 6. Yamamoto Shootdown 7. Ploesti Raid 8. Escorting the Bombers 9. Big Week 10. D-Day 11. Marianas Turkey Shoot 12. Battle of the Bulge 13. Iwo Jima 14.
