Luftwaffe to fly over Britain for 70th anniversary

[Njaco]

I wonder if I could convince them to patch together a couple of Do 17's and finish off what they started when bombing Croydon 70 years ago?

Sh*thole

Kudos to the nations involved!

I'm not so sure I'd like to see a Japanese airshow over Pearl Harbor...

nope, i couldn't see it....
I'm sure some old timer Londoners are a bit unnerved but it's symbolic of how great nations should behave.

makes me think of this toon

Good point comiso! A Zero flying over the Arizona Memorial doesn't work.

It was weird for me to see one flying over the Queen Mary in Long Beach in 1981.

Well, since we're in 1430 according to the islamic calendar...you do the math.
Apart from that, Doonesbury rocks. It pokes fun, not just at the establishment, but also at the critics of said establishment.
And another thing, jumping back on topic: That's a flight display I'd like to see!

I was living outside of Pearl Harbor back in '99 when they started filming "Pearl Harbor". The airplanes zooming around were frikkin awesome! Kinda made the hairs on the back of your neck break-dance. 'Course, I wasn't in to history at the time, so it didn't really hit me all that hard. But it did sort of make you feel like you were yanked back in time to Dec 1941.

The movie, of course, sucked.

It was part of the 4th of July events on the ship.
There was a 4 plane flyover with mock dogfights and strafing runs on the ship.
There was a Corsair, a Zero and two other planes which I can't remember at the moment.
The thing that still stands out in my mind is how small the planes looked in comparison to the Queen Mary.

I hate you....

What I hate is that I didn't have a video camera to tape it at the time.
I know video of it existed because it was on the news the next day.
I've tried searching for some but the event is so old that I can't find anything relating to it.
