I remember that my mom let me skip school that day so we could go see the flyover instead of being stuck at school and hearing about it on the news. I still clearly remember how that day was like, and I guess that's one advantage of having an ex-AF mom that loves aircraft!

This is so cool. I was on the ground on the Mall looking up as these planes flew over. The next day I flew on B-29 FiFi, the day after, B-17 Aluminum Overcast and the B-24. Very honored to being able to do that and grateful to those people that work so hard to keep these planes flying and the history alive!!
Rest in Peace, Texas Raider and all crew aboard.
I built a B-29 AIRFIX model when I was a wee lad, even the model was huge comparing to the other AIRFIX models I had hanging from the ceiling. Great to see these planes still flying. And what an important role they have played in the history. GREAT VIDEO!
Greetings from Russia! You are very good fellows for keeping so many planes in working order! We have almost no flying planes of those years left!
Very sad, because there were many good Russian aircraft at that time.

@Malik Fachrizal and another uneducated person.
1978. I'm 18. I'm working in a house in rural Missouri. I hear a rumble and look up. A B-17 right over my head. I've been in love ever since.
Every year at the drag races in Bakersfield California a P-51 would come down the drag strip at 500 miles an hour to start the race. To see something that close and loaded the ground going 500 miles an hour is a real treat.
I've never been able to conclude which bird is more beautiful, the B-29 or the P-51. What magnificent planes they were!!!!
How can 190 people NOT like this ? I can't understand it ! Brave men fought and died in W.W.2. for the right to dislike . You insult their memory . Shame on you . RESPECT.
IMO, the P-51 and B-29 were the two most beautiful planes of the WWII era!
you forgot the ME 262
you forgot the p47 kid. the me262 was shitty because they weren't sufficient enough to battle the p51.
+Nate Its his opinion
+Jake Schmale true, and I have the facts.
+Nate the ME 262 was the beginning of a new era, an the B 29-29 and the P-51 was the end of a era.But they where all beautiful planes...
I was a crew member on B17 s when I was in the Air Force in New Mexico in the 3225th drone Squadron. They were equipped to fly by remote control and used as missile targets. For faster targets, they used old F80s with T33's as the mother ship. The nearest city was Alamogordo, New Mexico.
On this Memorial Day
2019 Thank You to the Men & Women of the U.S Military who fought & still fight , to keep America free, safe & great..
We can never repay you entirely for your devotion & sacrifice.
THANK YOU !
Well said. History will judge those that designed, built and flew these gorgeous machines as part of the greatest generation this country ever produced. They survived the Depression, worked and fought like demons to ensure the survival of their country.

All I can say is what an incredible event to have been able to attend.
The sounds of 1940's and 50's era amazing to hear it back again.. Overwhelming
I want to say love and respect to the American 8th Air Force. I am English and I was brought up with images like this my dad was in the RAF and he loved you boys
Fantastic to see. I love watching the WW2 survivors flying. We have the Lancaster Spitfire and Hurricane doing fly bys in the UK. I live 3 miles from Polebrook UK where the 351st bomb group were based and I can imagine the sky full of B17s going to and from missions. I still visit the old airfield site and the memorial.
this is what old planes can do to your soul perfect sound and perfect old ladies protecting the sky god bless each and every airman in world war 2 who flew them
Love hearing those big engines purr, thanks for sharing !.
Thank you, this footage is amazing don't let these other people stop you, from making amazing footage again keep up the good work!
The noise these great beasts make just must be experienced in person. Nothing like it. Spine tingling.
+nostrilnick I agree.... and the real shame of this (otherwise good) video (besides all the uninformed plane "identification" going on) was the "non - radial" camera operator.... cutting and splicing the videoing of each takeoff... just when the sound of that deep throbbing radial power was about to peak !!! What a shame ! : (
you just cant appreciate the sound if you are not there to feel the soundwaves vibrate your entire body

Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱.
Old Radial engine planes have a sole something modern planes will never replicate .
Absolutely awe inspiring; Especially when you know the history of these exceptional aircraft and the hero's who flew them in combat 70+ years ago.
God Bless Their Souls and may succeeding generations be forever cursed if they EVER forget.

RIP B-17 Texas Raiders! My heart is totally broken. I still can't get over Nine-O-Nine and now another beautiful B-17 gone too
I can’t even imagine what it must have been like to be in the war and not have your friends in other B-17’s not return.
I’ve been fortunate to have flown in Nine-O-Nine so very many times.
The day it crashed I was to be on that aircraft, along with my two brothers.
My flight from Phoenix to Bradley was so very late and we never flew.
It was devastating to me not just for the horrible loss of life but for the Nine-O-Nine.
I was so glad to have been one of the sponsors with my name right under the co-pilot’s window.
RIP to those aboard that day in October and RIP to my friend the Nine-O-Nine.
That is not something you see everyday. FANTASTIC.....
Awesome these old war horses each have lives of their own their not just machines they are so much more. They are an extension of the men who flew in combat in world war 2 they are like family to those brave men and pieces of history that should never be forgotten and given respect because they've earned it and then some.
Thanks for sharing. I had constant goosebumps hearing those awesome girls fire up and take to the skies. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing the b24 at the CAF Dixie Wing in GA a few years ago and saw FiFi land at Bullhead City, AZ Airport a few years ago as well. One day imma fly one.
I'm 75 so I'm not part of the "can do" generation but it would be difficult to overstate my admiration of my parents and other people of their generation who designed and build things - including machines to do things that had never been done before -without the use of computers or even electronic calculators. I fear that people who have grown up with those mental crutches will never have the mental acuity of the can do generation.

I got to see/get inside of both a b24 liberator and a b29 superfortress back in 2019. The experience was quite amazing. They also had a p51d mustang and a Boeing Pt-17 stearman trainer biplane there.
So many beautiful planes.
What a truly great video! I salute the poster unequivocally! As I live in the UK, I can only dream about watching a display like this "in the flesh" My favourite Aircraft is the B24... A truely unglamorous work horse That never received the acclaim that it deserved..A bit like the British Vickers Wellington.
He never said there were british aircraft XDD
Soaring is unapologetic about his American bragging, and unapologetically obtrusive, divisive, rude, non-topical, off his meds, off his rocker, out to lunch, passed over, passed tense, passed the point of no return, and very, very, very lonely. His pets even ran away.
My father in law flew B-24s in WW2 when he was in his early 20s. He said it was like flying a dump truck. He said B-24s were a handful and notorious for wanting to wallowing all over the sky, especially when they were loaded and in up in thin air. He said the scariest part was simply trying to stay in formation and not run into the planes around them that were also struggling to stay in formation. Like most WW2 vets, he's gone now, passed away in the '90s.
My son Dennis sent this to me. He knows I love warbirds. What a beautiful sight to see. It was so great to see them flying. I love these beauties 💞💞 Thank you Dennis and thank you for this video. I have subscribed so now I can watch and enjoy. Thank you.
My dad was a member of a group called the Confederate Air Force before he passed. He was in a B-17 crew in Galveston, TX.
Would love to see a B-36D Peacemaker flying
Sadly all b36's were scrapped shortly after the retirement in 1956

+Jaden Gitlow Possibly..... he was just a "non - radial" guy.... or even (perhaps), just a Non "gearhead" in general.... clueless of the goosebumps created in a certain percentage of the population upon hearing sounds emulated from such mechanical "wonders" as high output, wartime radial engines.... or, even Much MORE SO... at the "hit" of a Top Fuel engine in Drag racing...... Now THAT, is the sound of Power you can FEEL !!.... 8,000hp+/- in F/C... and 9,500 - 10,000+ in T/F.
Love those radial's. Worked on the R-4360's at HIckam AFB...1957-60.
Yes..I know, because I worked on the C-97's and C-121's

Fantastic video . This old Airman thanks you.
What a great event. The difference between the B-29 and the other bombers is like night and day, it dosen't look like it even belongs in the same war. It is my absolute favorite bomber from WWII.
So wonderful to see Texas Raiders flying in this.😇😇😇😇😇😇
I got to ride Fifi in Jacksonville. It was so awesome.
Once you hear a thundering radial come to life, you never forget it!!!
Love it, wish I was there.The B-17 and B-29, as well as the P-51 are my favourite aircraft.
+Paul Marsh Mine too. I love old warbirds, I like them better than newer aircraft.
God damnit! What a sound! I had to put on my stereo headset and listen to it on maximum volume.
Ok, I'm a little deaf right now, but I'll be ok until noon.
Nah, I'll watch it one more time...
Beautiful planes of our past oh the stories they could tell I sure wish my great uncle was still here to tell his stories he saw did an encounter.

SWEET OLD.BOMBER PLANES😢😢😢😍😍😍
The B29 looks like a terrifying monstrocity out of this world! So abnormal, so spooky, so alien in design, even more than the B2 is today. You could say it looks like a headless chicken that was never meant to have a head anyway
think that the B29 looked like a tiny airplane right next to the B36 Peacemaker
FANTASTIC!
John Adams good to see it in color now Fifi has a wing mate Fifi and Doc together again
Excellent video! I get so danged emotional seeing these planes.So great to hear them also , not spoiled by music. Fifi really tops it off at the ending!
those talking people got several planes wrong by name so I just had another beer
Not now and never will apologize for these beautiful ladies.
these planes are not simply started, they are awoken.
tadpoleguy yes
I don’t know a thing about planes
I just really like the look of the P-51
She didn't get one airplane right.
Was cool seeing all the planes. They were just missing the O-2’s.
thanks for the video...awesome war planes...
Of all these beautiful birds one is no longer with us THE TEXAS RAIDERS may all lost R.I.P
Mustangs still are one of the sexiest airplanes ever designed! You can have your modern jets, if I could own any plane, it would be a P-51 with Rolls-Royce power, of course!
Gringo I live a mile from the airfield where the Merlin was first fitted to the crappy Allison- engined Mustang.
The result was a match made in heaven.
(it was RAF Hucknall)
Red Barchetta: I think you do the Allison-engined P51s a dis-service. They were only crappy at altitude; the RAF used theirs pretty successfully as low level fighters, fighter bombers and reconnaissance aircraft.
soaringtractor: Er, Packard-built Merlins were a 99.9% copy of the Merlins built in Britain. Sure, there were some minor differences, for example the material of the main bearings in some engines, but to say that the Packard-built versions weren't Merlins is ridiculous; theres a very good reason for the clue in the title.
soaringtractor: You should look up your facts and do a fair comparison. Your use of exclamation marks and 'British bullshit' suggest you have a lot to do there.
If you want to be nationalistic, then look at the work that had to be done to upgrade the drawings for the higher tolerances needed by the much-superior US mass-production techniques.
FWIW the Allison engine wasn't crap. It ran out of power at altitude but was still ok at lower altitudes. The rapid developments in engine technology and performance spurred by war left it behind and it couldn't be upgraded, so [later versions of] the Merlin were far better for the Mustangs the USAAF needed.
Interestingly, Packard only built the Merlin because Ford reneged on their contract to build them in the US. Whether that was due to Ford or not is unclear; he was a fan of Hitler, received Germany's highest award for a foreigner, built equipment for the Germans throughout the war and shared Hitler's anti-Semitic views. Ford's plants in Germany were not attacked (all the equivalent non-US-owned ones were) and Ford later sued the US government for loss of production caused by reductions in component supplies due to Allied attacks elsewhere.
At the end of the day, fitting Merlins to the Mustang was the quickest way to give the USAAF the long-distance high-altitude fighter it so desperately needed. It was a joint US-British effort of which both sides should be proud.
soaringtractor: Ha ha. Come back when you've grown up.
For everyone else, the Wikipedia article on Packard-built Merlins is a good, readable summary.
The B-17 just leaves me speechless, such a beautiful airplane.
My grandfather fought in world war 2. He was the the belly gunner on a b-17.
I agree. B-17s were my favorite aircraft (especially the G) as a kid in the '60s, due to seeing them in movies and TV shows like "12 O'clock High". Also the fact my parents and my friends' parents were all of the WW2 generation, many of them veterans of the war, hearing them talk and tell their stories of those days was a big influence in my formative years. I'm sure it had a lot to do with why I ended up in the USAF on various jets including B-52s in the '70s and '80s.
Outstanding. That's a really early model B-24. Like a B or a C. Super rare these days.
Nice... Like a CAF Greatest Hits show :}🛩️
My Grandmother Gwen Fussey was flown to the East Coast of Canada right after the 2nd World War from the United Kingdom in B-24 that was Converted for VIP Transport. Gwen Fussey was trained to ID spies in her community and report back to Head Quarters by the United Kingdom Home Guard while her Husband Bill was off with the Canadian Artillery on the German front lines. The last year Gwen was alive she was dropped 5 times from the over head transfer lift, almost every Saturday in a row until she was dead from her injuries, Glengary long term Nurse care home 2016 Victoria British Columbia Canada. The first time i witnessed my Grandmother being assaulted was back in the mid 1970's on her Birthday by one of her neighbors that lived across the street and just a few houses down. My Brother and followed the man to the Cedar hill Golf course, after he noticed us tailing him, he threatened to kill us if we ever followed him again. Rest in peace Gwen, Never new you were a spy in the 2nd great World War. Pretty funny story. Rest in peace big Brother, Ken Bialkowski, found dead in his car, in his home. 2018, the family was told he killed himself because of the aledged Sexual assault that was filed against him. Now i am the only witness left. The last time i saw my Big Brother, I talked to him about what we had seen, (cell phone in hand). The last words Ken Bialkowski told his brother me, " Don't be so paranoid, it happened so long ago, no one cares". He told me those words after i told him to pay attention, they will break into your home drug your food, water and Vitamins with Narcotics and you will just be another suicide that never gets investigated as a Murder.
Deja mucho que pensar, en verdad la US Air Force tuvo mucha creatividad para crear algo tan hermoso y eficaz.
Recordados siempre sean aquellas personas que dieron todo en la guerra por su patria
If that's the same B-29 "FiFi," that I saw at an Amarillo Air Show, Amarillo, TX (late 80's early '90's) as part of the Confederate Air Force, she's held up well. I was left in awe as to how big it really is.
hattrick1972 She went through a total overhaul about 10 years ago. They found a name, from one of the "Rosies" who originally built her, under one of the wing oil tanks. The lady, though old and frail, was reunited with the 29 before it started flying again.
Love the sound of these aeroplanes
It's really sad that there are few b-29s left but atleast quite a few b17s are still up and flying I got to see one up close and personal in Seattle and In Idaho what magnificent craftsmanship.
7:46 "This looks like a cargo ship."
Please excuse me I think I need a q-tip for the cringe in my ears.
Even I could tell it's a Catalina, smh
Mik Moen, it’s time to open the bomb bay doors.
G-Vloggers PBY, not PBJ. PBJ was the USN/USMC version of the B-25 Mitchell.
She even had the AUDACITY to say it had a damn R A D A R
Yeah as soon as I got the Catalina in war thunder I made sure not to use it......I hate that plane
Just fantastic. What an awesome sight.
Absolutely awesome! Fly baby fly!
C'est magnifique, merci pour le partage
They said the Catalina was a b17, b-25 was a b-26, and ruined the audio why do people like even go to air shows
I will go thumb up for my quarter of interest! Always there for the Liberator.
Should also added to the list of take off aircraft include the following:
1) p47 thunderbolt
2) p40 warhawk
3) b25 Mitchell
4) b26 invader
5) f6f hellcats
6) f4u Corsair
7) tbf avengers
8) sb2c helldiver
Then you have the COMPLETE set of the us military wwii aircrafts
And a P-38 Lightning, F4F Wildcat, B-26 Marauder, SBD Dauntless, P-39 Airacobra,and TBD Devastator. That would be a bit more complete. ( And it's *A* -26 Invader.)
It's amazing that the old B-17's were tail draggers!
If you love aviation, this is an gold story.
