With all the negative news today, this story makes anyone happy to see these men recall their military service in WW2.

I haven't had a chance to fly any warbirds but I have flown some in the Vultee BT-13's and once flew to Oklahoma City and flew co-pilot in a Stearman back to Minnesota with a very accomplished pilot giving me a some dual instruction. I admire these young men and young women who served their country by flying either in combat or by fairing these aircraft to training facilities across our country.
