First picture is of a P-38 Lightning, P-40 Warhawk, P-47 Thunderbolt, and P-51 Mustang flying in formation.

Thanks Bear
Cell phone is not the best camera for these types of pictures. I posted the best out of the bunch. Next time I'll use a real camera.

My wife and I were planning to go to the airshow in Omaha in August but unfortunately we had to cancel the trip. My wife desperately needs to get her knee replaced. She is scheduling that this week.

My wife just had knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus. I pushed her around the airshow in a wheelchair.

Instead of using my phone I took a real camera with me this year. I may have snapped a few nonessential photos with the 300x lense.

I didn't realize before that there was a Constellation at that show back in September! Such a lovely aircraft, such graceful lines.

Not sure

The fighter there with the British markings is a P-40. The Brits named them Tomahawks and Kittyhawks depending on the model.
