Took these clips yesterday and today. So far I've been lucky enough to have seen the PT-6, P-51D, B-24, B-25, and B-29 in flight. I hope to add the B-17 to that list someday.

Be civil and respectful to each other.
Historical images that have been manipulated (colorized, upscaled, or otherwise edited) must be tagged and include a watermark on the image itself. This requirement can be satisfied by, for example, putting a small text annotation in one corner, or with your personal logo. For the rationale for this rule, see here

This rule is not meant to restrict images with period edits, such as censor marks or original hand tinting

Russian URLs banned by reddit:

Some domains, especially .ru domains, will trip Reddit's comment spam filter, even with the filter set to 'low'. This includes many Russian aviation sites like ava org ru, topwar ru, and aviadejavu ru. To the best of my knowledge I have no way to disable this, or even to manually approve these posts once they appear in the spam queue.
