USAFA Graduation 2013

[FLYBOYJ]

Well there's a new flock of butter bars coming out of the USAFA. No T-Bird fly over or airshow so several WW2 warbirds did the traditional fly over during the hat toss. 2 B-25s, a TBM, Wildcat, Corsair, P-47 and 3 Mustangs. Too far for good pics, I didn't bring my camera but did get this one with my cell phone.

Well caught Joe. Will the new 'Butter Bars' be real pilots, or drone drivers these days?!

All the above including missile folks, desk jockeys and rocket scientists!

I miss Colorado... There were always some WW2 aircraft flying around, especially in the Summer. I usually volunteered for the Rocky Mountain Fly-in. Now I have to wait until I can move back. You're a lucky man Joe.

As cool as that is, I think it really sucks that USAFA grads get airplanes to flyover their graduation that their grandfathers (or great grandfathers) flew.
