P-51s Over My House

These beauties flew over the top of my house on Veteran's Day, 2014. They were performing and giving respect to those buried at Riverside National Cemetery (Riverside County, California) which is about 1 mile from where I live.

Only problem is, these are NOT P-51's

My bad - T6s - thought they were P-51s. I even looked them up on Google before I posted! Oh well, a beautiful sight anyway. Thanks for the update guys!

Great fun flying the T-6 on a Sunday afternoon...the whine of the starter on the round engine...maybe a backfire or two as the engine catches...the smoke...all that rudder to keep it straight on take-off as the power and torque come on...then the tail comes up and you are ready to go play...love it!!
