P-51 Mustangs

This is the first time since WW2 ended that this many(16) P-51 Mustang's all got up into the air together. The leader of the P-51 Mustang association is Captain Hess Bomberger. A WW2 mustang pilot. He got as many P-51 pilots together that he could and they practiced WW2 combat formation flying. Another stunt they perfected was a United States Army Air Corp. aerial maneuver called the "SNAKE DANCE". The planes would find ground targets and one after another they would peel off and start down to perform their attacks. It would look like a giant snake as all the P-51's looked like they were attched to each other like a kite tail.There were 24 P-51 's at the show the day we went, but only 16 went up for there fly by .
