Nice images. I like all but the first one because my opinion is that the DC-3 in the first image grabs too much of the attention.

Thank you Captain,
It was entirely intentional, not a mistake.
My artistic concept of showcasing two different eras of military planes with added depth of view for the Bluebirds as a bonus.

Thanks anyway!

I went to the "Thunder over Hampton Roads" air show at Langley AFB, Virginia, last Sunday (27 April). Three days earlier, on Thursday, Rob Holland was killed while arriving there to perform at the show. There were several tributes to him during the show, including this "Missing Man" flyover.

Not exactly an air show, this was the Commemorative Air Force Capital Wing's Mother's Day Opening event on 10 May at Culpeper (Virginia, USA) Regional Airport.
