I live in the landing path of the Livermore Airport (California) about a
mile away. There are a lot of WWII and later warbirds that fly in here on a
regular basis. I often see I two P-51, P-40, Several T-6, F8F Bear cat and
a AD-1 Skyraider. About once or twice a year the Collins B-17, B-24 and
sometime B-25 come out here for shows and to give rides. The nice thing
about being in the flight path is that I get to see them fly directly over
my house low and slow. I particularly enjoy seeing the bombers, especially
when they give rides. They'll just fly over in about 20~30 min intervals
for several hours in the morning and afternoon. Often the other local war
birds will join in flying in formation. Somedays I wonder what it must have
been like southern England during WWII when you had hundreds and thousands
of aircraft flying in and out everyday. I wish I could have experienced
such a sight.
