Trigger Mike Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 It's the annual Vidalia Onion Festival and sometimes they have the Blue Angels, but this year they are reenacting the attack on Pearl Harbor and I heard a different type roar so i looked out to see a fairly decent sized formation of Japanese planes coming overhead.

Dantankerous Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Flying one of those must be a rush. Fast and agile. But WHO IN THE HELL has enough for a formation???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Mike Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 I'm not sure what group has them but there were more than 6 and at the same time my wife said she saw some a few miles away over the middle school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Whiskers Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Quite a few of those are converted AT 6's. There use to be several at the Oshkosh fly in when I was going there. They annually had a "bombing run" with Zero's and Dive bomber planes being chased by US Fighters. About 90+% of those were re-worked AT 6's or the Navy variant. There were a lot of surplus AT's after the war. Original Zero's were scarce as hens teeth, but a few did survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 The day my daughter got married at the AF base in Vegas (can't recall the name) they had an air show. As we were walking in from the parking lot a Zero flew over being chased by a pair of P-47s. Good omen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been there few dozen times and driven through Vegas maybe a thousand times in 45 years and I can NEVER remember the name of the place.
