The weather forecast for today looked really bad earlier in the week, but we ended up having a pretty good flight. It was cold and rainy in spots, but I toughed it out with the canopy open (my hands were FREEZING!) We had a T-6, B-25, C-47, 4 Nanchang CJs and 2 T-34s. I was in one of the T-34s and we flew off the wings of the C-47 and the Nanchangs flew off the B-25. The T-6 joined last minute because the owner's P-51 had a coolant leak.
It was a huge honor to be part of the flyover to salute our vets and current military members. As a bonus, the guided-missile destroyer USS Milius (DDG-69) was in Santa Barbara Harbor. It was quite a cool Veteran's Day celebration.
