Tomorrow, in commemoration of the end of the War in Europe, there will be a flyover of historic aircraft over the Mall in Washington DC (Our Nation's Capital). I plan to be there, but for those of you who cannot do the same there will be a live webcast: ww2flyover.org The weather tomorrow is expected to be perfect. |

I was wondering what a flyover – one of these – had to do with WW2 commemoration:

They are practicing flight formations in Leesburg right now! Lots of planes. And I am stuck on a call. Matthew |

They better watch where they fly – they might get shot down. |

Not to worry about anyone getting shot down. If some guy can fly a gyrocopter from Pennsylvania and land it on the Capitol lawn unimpeded, the warbirds should be perfectly safe. |

Nice picture, Sean. That was a challenging environment for photography. |
has been watching some documentaries lately set in the Western Desert, and was inspired to create this...
