I happened to be at the perfect place to see each formation of the World War II Victory Capitol Flyover as they flew along the Potomac River on their way to pass by the Washington mall and WWII Memorial. I was sitting on a concrete slab with my can next to me. Nearby a 1969 USNA grad and his wife stood and the daughter of an Avenger pilot from the Korean War was there as well. The first planes were a pair of P-40 Flying Tigers. They banked over the river just north of us and flew right over us at about 800 feet above us. Each of the following formations flew the same route. There were B-17’s, first escorted by P-51s, a couple missing man formations, a single P-38, B-17s with navy markings like those that did anti-submarine warfare off the English coast, B-24, A-26, Navy fighters, etc. The planes looked beautiful as they flew down the river. I was thankful that I was able to see this event and just happened to be with a group of people who were thrilled to see the planes for different reasons. As a believer, I know there are no real coincidences. I asked my Lord and Savior for guidance and direction as I do each day. I am thankful He led me to the north end of the parking lot and down the steep bank to be where I was and get into the conversations I did. Altogether it was a wonderful experience on a beautiful spring day.
