DC Folks - WWII Flyover opportunity in May

[Braineack]

Just a heads up to the DC folks.

Arsenal of Democracy Flyover WWII Victory Capitol Flyover

On Friday, May 8, 2015, join us to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of Victory in Europe (VE Day). The Arsenal of Democracy World War II Victory Capitol Flyover will include 15 historically sequenced warbird formations traveling across our nation’s capital—from the Lincoln Memorial to the Capitol. The Flyover will feature over 70 warbirds representing the major battles of World War II, from Pearl Harbor to D-Day, ending with a final Missing Man Formation to “Taps.” Never before has such a collection of WWII aircraft been assembled at one location—a fitting tribute to the men and women at home and abroad responsible for this Victory in 1945. The Flyover is set to start at 12:10 p.m. and last approximately 40 minutes.

Wonder if a shot from Arlington Cemetery would work?

 

[bobandcar]

That's wonderful! Hope you can

 

[Braineack]

they usually fly over 66, so you won't get the best shots from the cemetary. the key bridge on the other hand...
