Ryan - I discovered my misidentification soon after I posted that erroneous report. I will have to turn in my plane spotter's merit badge! Thanks for the correction. Don

Some pictures from Culpepper that Col Boose sent me. Hope it's okay to post them Don.

Also, a sight I'm seeing a lot lately from my front yard. I can get used to this!

Cockpit Footage from TBM

Here is some excellent footage and explanation of the precautionary landing by the Grumman TBM during the V-E Day Flyover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkvcwXqBJDQ

I note a folded American flag on the cockpit coaming. My guess is that several of the aircraft carried these flags for presentations. It is often the custom at military retirement ceremonies to present the retiree with a flag that has flown over some historic building or is otherwise unique.
