My dad was a radio operator on Avengers in ‘45. I was able to get him out to the show in Peru a few years ago. He hadn’t seen one since the war. He went straight to the back door on each airplane and gave them a good critique of their radio setups. There were 13 TBM/TBFs there that year. He had a great time. He passed just before Covid at 96.

Glad he was able to make it out when he did!! Great job reuniting him with the planes

The only thing I was really there for was matt Younkin in his Twin Beech 18. The 3 jets, the P-51, and the P-40 Kittyhawk performances on Saturday were cool to!

[@homunculous007]

Fabulous show. Copious thanks.

[@hamshackleton]

It would be nice if you could put subtitles on screen, identifying the aircraft types, and their common names, for those of us in the UK, who rarely see these. - - Why does TBM? no 50 have sub-fins on the tailplane, when the others don't?

[@Duality306]

He has then in the description ....maybe he put them there after your post but they are there

[@olspanner]

Love the Radials, but it's hard to go past the sound of a Mustang!

[@bigroy38]

Wow!No dumbbell announcer?

[@craigpennington1251]

Great quality but only edited clips of T/Os, landings, & flybys. Could be much better.

[@parkburrets4054]

Sorry - L-39s don't look cool.
