Thanks for the link to the pictures. I heard about the scheduled Mustang flyby but hadn't found pictures yet. Thanks for sharing!

I'm sure Jack Rousch enjoyed seeing his 'Stang above him. That looks like the Skyraider the Tennessee Aviation Museum had restored, they brought it in last year first of September.

The shot of the B-17 being escorted by the two Mustangs is a great shot!

This is the B-17 they used in the move 'Memphis Belle", as the "Memphis Belle".

As I suspected, the best I can tell (tail letters "TC") this is the Skyraider from the Tennessee Aviation Museum. I had a chance to see its first landing at the airport there last fall, but didn't have the time to wait for it due to holdups with weather between there and Colorado where it was restored.

Follow the link for the details on the aircraft's history.

The Grumman Avenger flies in several local (NC) shows each year. I don't have any other information on it though.

F15's (see note below)
AT-6 TEXAN did not see a Texan in the photos. Saw an Avenger though and that was sort of addressed.
DC-3 (C-47 due to being in military colors) ADDRESSED
A-1 Sky Raider..???? ADDRESSED
B-17 Fortress ADDRESSED
P51 mustangs.. ADDRESSED


Can't see the tail letters on the F-15s, but if they had the letters SJ they are based out of Seymour Johnson AFB in Goldsboro, NC.

Oops. I goofed on this one. I told liquid1 the C-47 was a DC-3. Forgot the DC-3 is typically the civilian designation and the C-47 is military.

Thanks for the link. Cool to read the history and see the other info.:thumbsup:

Cheers,

Thanks for correcting. I didn't pay close enough attention and thought the light blue was for an Avenger. How silly of me!
