"Start with tribute formations honoring Planes of Fame founder, the late Ed Maloney, that included the N9M flying wing, the only flying P-26, and a P-35 derivative. And continue with wave after wave of warbirds in a fabulous show at Chino, California on the weekend of 6-7 May 2017. Kent Pietsch's masterfully graceful aerobatics in the Interstate Cadet, sponsored by Jelly Belly jelly beans, includes a visually compelling look at a spin with smoke on the wingtips of this vintage general aviation aircraft. The world's only flying Privateer patrol bomber graces the skies near the end, followed by a wrap-up heritage formation and F-35 air demonstration."

About 23 minutes; some cool stuff in this.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

I love Planes of Fame.

I used to go there when I lived in Pasadena.

Went to high school in La Verne, CA, and spent many a Saturday hanging out at PoF. Did some volunteer work there. Miss going to the yearly Gathering of Eagles, there.
