IN THIS VIDEO, watch as a handful of warbirds take to the skies and perform flybys over Dayton International Airport. This is only part of their performance, which includes a P-47 Thunderbolt, P-51C Mustang, and an F6F Hellcat.

Like what you've seen? Well, if you are interested in purchasing DVDs of specific aircraft and/or of airshows, interested in anything and everything related to airshows (where the jet teams will show up, all airshow performers, airshow reports from airshows I have attended, previews of airshows I will be attending, etc.), a much more easier to navigate "version" of all of my videos, and/or everything there is related to aviation - including spotting guides to my favorite airports and military bases and aircraft factfiles, please take time to check out Steve's Airshow World at http://www.stevesairshow.com .

PS- I wish they gave you more than 500 characters; I'm too damn long winded for these little boxes. Anyway, I forgot to say that I purposely deleted "military" and added "army" because I needed a few more letters, and I hate abbriviations. U know what I mean? "LOL", etc. I can deal with, but I guess I've been reading for to long. I cringe at bad spelling and puntuation, but to bitch about it would be absolutly pointless.Soon enough, with all the "texting" etc. we'll have a new written language!

I actually agree about military service being good for you, and our kids needing to shape the fuck up. But WAR isn't so good for you. Even if you don't catch a bullet, you are scared for life. War will never leave, but it would be nice to have a war that MEANS something. I think Americans are just too good at smelling BS. We pulled together and won WWII, because we HAD to win. Funny, during wartime, this country just about WAS a Fascist state! But that's how we won. Where do you draw the line?

[justforever96]

"The Iraq war is damn near right"? LOL, so it's ALMOST a legitimate war? I'm guessing you didn't mean that that way, did you? Which comparison of armies to rebels? The Finns? I was just making a point, that superior power won't always win a war, especially if you mix politics in with it. War is more than just the shooting part. I was just reading about the F-117 that the Serbs shot down. We had stealth, so they "cheated" and used extra-long wavelength radar. War is the mother of invention, see?

[Dogmeat1950]

Military service should be required. it brings out team work,discipline and respect. unlike to days pop culture that heavily lacks in that area.

it's not students it's certain teachers sometimes. also it's called the military dumb ass, the Army is a branch.

[justforever96]

Yeah, damn all those civvies! The only thing wrong with this country is all the damn citizens, always going around and exercising their rights and stuff. Why can't they just toe the line?. You sound like Trunchbull in Matilda "the only thing wrong with this school is all the students". LOL, I suppose we could just MAKE everyone join the military, right? Or use the army to make sure no-one complains? Sounds like a great America to me. Seriously, it scares me when people talk like you are.

[Dogmeat1950]

did U just compare Armies to rebels? please stop talking lol. U do realise the Iraq war is damn near right? also the green-zone was a government area.

[justforever96]

In WWII we wiped out infrastructure and pummelled the population, Nazi or not, into submission. In Iraq we're busy re-building the country and being nice to everyone. If the German people had resisted us after we occupied them, it could have lasted until who knows when. Luckily, they were scared of Russia. And they knew that they got what they had coming, and were tired. Even if we could solve this mess, that won't stop the retards who want to pull out tomorrow. Even if we COULD win, we WON'T.

[justforever96]

Propaganda may be a Communist word, but that does not in any way mean that we don't use it. We just call it something nicer. I would think it was becoming obvious now. The US Army is top-notch and can take any army. But beating an army is very different from our job. Unless you clamp down martial law over the whole country (including the remote areas), you won't wipe them out. The Green Zone. Wow, we can sort of secure a perimeter against a bunch of poorly trained rebels! Impressive indeed.

[justforever96]

I guess we could have won against the Russians in 1949. But at what cost? Besides, I thought the discussion was about the fighting merits of the 2 countries. Using Nukes against a non-nuclear country would just prove us cowards. Not to mention that it would create hatred for us that would make the Cold War seem nice and friendly. They WOULD have gotten nukes sooner or later, and I'll bet they'd be itching for some payback. Like I said, "winning" is a matter of perspective. Time changes matters.
