Columbus OH Warbirds

Tue May 12, 2015 6:35 am

This past Sat. May 10th I saw 3 planes flying west over Columbus around 3PM. I saw them from a distance and could not get a positive ID. I think one may have been a B-25 but am not sure. I assume they were heading home from Washington DC. I would appreciate any help in identifying them.

Thanks,
Ed Davis

Might have been the Texas Flying Legends crew. The B-25, TBM and Corsair stopped in Kokomo, IN on their from Washington D.C. to wherever it is they were going next.

Yup, could have been some of the Fagen Fighters planes too. I believe they were also heading back that way.

Gentlemen,

Thanks for your help. They had to be the Texas Flying Legends. They were too far away to get a good look at them, but I could make out the general silouettes. The Avenger was noticably larger than the Corsair. I'm glad our neighborhood was quiet because there is no mistaking the sound of those engines. It was quite a treat seeing and hearing them.

Thanks again,
Ed
