Some of the slow stuff was routed directly over my house. Got to see the trainer formation, Battle of Midway and bits of others like one of the C-47s.
None of the really cool stuff was routed by me... but still pretty damn cool.

Cool thing about living in Seattle...we see those planes overhead fairly often. There must be a bunch of them stored around here. They sound fantastic!

I had some WWII aircraft flying over my house in SoCal weekend before last. It was pretty cool, but I also live near a small airport...

They're just bad ass.
It was pretty damn cool. I was outside working in the yard and they flew over low and slow. Called my daughter and fiance out to see them and they circled back a few mins later for a second pass...
I've always enjoyed watching A-10s train overhead...they do that here.
Sad that they'll be disappearing soon...until they become 'antique aircraft' and we see them again.
You brought em up, and those make the beast with two backsers saved my ass on a few occasions. ;)
