Amazing, considering the cost to restore and maintain those warbirds. Millions upon millions of dollars there. Enjoyable video just for the audio if nothing else.

What a strange affect that their props look to be turning so slowly. The one bird, on take off looks like its prop is not even moving.

The rotation speed of the prop is matching the fps speed of the video camera. It is weird to see for sure.

What an opportunity to have seen.

Also, had they done a missing man formation in the finale I think there wouldn't have been a dry eye as they salute those who came before and prevailed in such desperate times.
