A Spitfire and a P-51Mustang in formation at very low altitude, moving from West to East near Zeist in the Netherlands at aprox. 12.45 Central European Time.

Ok, so it's not a warbird, but I still thought it was a great shot...

But it could be a warbird Ryan. Thats what Raven Ed flew in Western Viet Nam during that unpleasantness.

The CESSNA 180/185 series was also known as the L-17 and VNAF and I think the Thai AF used them in SEA. (and not to be confused with the Korean War era NAVION)

The Aeros & Autos Show is tomorrow @ Ellington and Texas Flying Legends is one of the co-sponsors and will have their planes on display. I was told they'll be flying them to the Dakota (I forget North or South) museum on Sunday.

B-25 right over my house 5 minutes ago.

I heard a P-51 take off today at Chino. I have no idea which one though, I was too busy working inside the hangar... I heard a B-25 last week.

U-17 is the proper term for the Cessna.............remeber we weren't there so the Cessnas, T-28s, and Birddogs weren't there either.

YEP! It's U not L and we, define 'we', were never where? What are you talking about?? Plausible denial at it's finest-

By treaty the U.S. never had combatants in Laos, although 45 years later we know the truth. The Ravens had probably the most dangerous and unrecongnized jobs in SE Asia.
