It was a great show, but I was really disappointed that they didn't get the heavies into a formation. There wasn't a real oppertunity to get both Liberators in the air in the same shot. (Maybe my expectations were set too high by this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfMWxR1B-Nw). I'm really hoping that this year, they will make an effort to form up the heavies.


This was about the best shot I got of the two Liberators. It was one great show, like they all are at Thunder.

We did a formation with both Libs...took alot of hoop jumping but we got it done. The 17's did a spectacular 4 ship with a missing man finale, I don't think there was a dry eye on the ground.
