Airshow this weekend, June 3 & 4 ! https://nationalwarplanemuseum.com/airshow/

There is a WT group occasionally doing Historical Custom Battles, and a corresponding YT channel makes videos from the Replay footage. Follow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3xxSOa2tGU for notifications and links to those. You'll need to set up on Discord as well.
