Grey Eagles, P-51 story

[mike kerley]

More aviation video. . . Grey Eagles

A great story that I want to share.

Pretty moving video watch the whole thing. You'll have goose bumps, too.
This tribute to the Grey Eagles (WWII pilots) was in conjunction with an air show in Ohio called
"The Final Roundup." It was the last large gathering of the remaining P-51 Mustang fighters used
during WWII. There were about 120 of the fighters there...all of them in flying condition, of course.
The flyover seen at the end of the video is composed entirely of P-51s spelling out the number 51.
It was an event that will never be seen again.

Thanks for the post Mike. Everytime I hear a story like this it makes me stop and think of all the sacrifices of that generation and all that we owe them. Great story.

Mike
Great story, I love listening to that stuff. I'm still amazed at the sacrifices that prior generations made. My dad is 90 years old and was a Ranger in WWII and only recently has he shared some of his stories with us.

Thanks Mike - great story. I always appreciate hearing from the WWII Vets, they were & still are IMO the Super Generation.
