Some of the best videos of the flyover of World War II planes over D.C.

Thousands of people turned not only their eyes upward, but their cameras, capturing video of some of the last aircraft from the era.

I heard on WMAL (105.9 FM) this was happening today, but the DJs did not give a time. Does anyone know what time today? I work at the Library of Congress and would like to step out (or at least look out the window) and watch it.

World War II bombers will fly over D.C. to mark the end of war in Europe

Ahead of the commemoration of V-E Day’s 70th anniversary, here’s what a flight aboard a B-25 bomber feels like.

This looks pretty cool, actually wish I could be there for this. Probably not as good as the Doolittle Raider Reunion we had here with all the
B-25s.

That would be something to see. My wife and I will be in the DC area the first two weeks of August visiting my son and his family. Sure wish they had this going then.
