These are not mine.

The pictures near the bottom of the Blue Angels buzzing the bay and the boats are particularly awe-inspiring:

Probably a 'learning experience' detailing the adventures of the original Nine-0-Nine (which was scrapped in 1945, this one is owned by Collings and, correct me if I am wrong, never saw combat).
