Haha well we do sometimes arrange meetups with members of our forums! Keep an eye there and on our IG because we try to post where we will be ahead of time. This video is Saturday but we have a similar video from Sunday and many others yet to come!

your camera person has balls of steel!

Its call alot of practice duh

Насколько это опасно настолько и захватывающе! Спасибо летчикам и крутому оператору. Был удивлен когда увидел звезды СССР на крыльях.

Yeah I’ve seen them in Dayton many times over the years, most recently in 2018.

There coming back

they were there this year

@@Danny-jb6pg yeah I was there to see them on Saturday and Sunday. The thunderbirds flew 2 years in a row that’s why.

That’s the idea. To give spectators an idea what it must have been like for those sailors and soldiers who witnessed the attack that very morning.

“What’s going on there Danny, you boys doing target practice or something?” “I think WWII just started!!”

I’m assuming it’s to help them keep track of each other for their own safety. Wouldn’t make sense for it to actually be part of a re-enactment.

Smoke adds to the whole chaos.

Yep! Sometimes they use a real P-40 when it is available, sometimes they use this one and call it a P-36 Hawk

Modified T-6s and BT-13s

There's a couple fixed gear Japanese bombers there as well.

This is a reenactment

That's exactly what they are! Modified T-6s and BT-13s used to film the movie

@@AirshowStuffVideos They didn't look like Zeros.

@@iananderson7883 Well duh dude. Its the closest we got! Most of these aircraft were used in filming, Final countdown, Midway(the old one) and Pearl harbor(both movies). Make sure to fly your full restored A6M to an airshow. I would love to get a picture beside it. SMH

@@joshuapemberton6765 What's your point. They sounded and looked like Harvards ( we called them Harvards in Canada. They were license built by a company called Noorduyn better known for the Norseman bush Plane of whicjh a number are still flying to this day ) ) I actually got a chance to fly one a number of years ago as well as a Harvard from the back seat a couple of times as well. I guess these planes were also used in the Baa Baa Black Sheep TV show. The Final Countdown was a really cool movie, "Splash the Zeros."

@@iananderson7883 ITs the fact that you said, "They didn't look like Zeros". We know that. That was a pointless comment. It was more of a jab at the folks that work hard to create and do a display that has been going on as long as I can remember. I was in the Confederate Air Force back in the 90's and flew in the "Kate". It would be as if I said this about the Snowbirds, "they dont fly like the Red Arrows". That would be piss poor form from me. We know that they are not an A6m and no need to point it out. These guys bust their ass keeping these planes flying with their own money, sweat and tears. A simple nice would have sufficed and move on.
