There was a very nice airshow in Virginia Beach just before Memorial Day called Warbirds over Virginia Beach. In addition to the many carefully restored (and flying) military aircraft, there were many displays of WWII equipment and uniforms. The very fine German Flugzeugabwehr-Kanone 8,8cm (Acht-komma-acht Zentimeter) was also present. I took this short clip as they were preparing and firing it. There is a bit of a delay for the first shot, since there was an aircraft taking off, which I assume they meant not to shoot at.
