I've seen that before. It's excellent. Very emotional. It's nice to see the younger generation showing respect, not only for the planes, but the fine men that flew them. They are from a different era and command alot of respect for what they did.

Really a great story. Watch the hole story. Strange how people that have been at war never really wants to talk about it.
Also makes me wonder wich was the best plane of the Spitfire, P51 or FW 190?

When I saw it was half an hour, I had no intention of watching the whole thing...not only did that not happen, I found myself skipping back through it to watch some parts AGAIN.

AWESOME story.
