if you have found a nice tribute of a Aircraft, Airforce or Pilot.

---

When watching this piece, I completly became silent and made put my hat off to these brave men who climbed into these wonderfull birds to liberate Europe. Knowing they might not return, the hell they go true when they come over enemy territory with the sky around filled by flak and German interceptors blazing down on them, and in early war they didnt had any escorts to protect them, the only protection came from the brave gunners onboard.

Well, not surprising but..

Messerschmitt 109

Has to be one of the most beautiful things in the world of aviation.

EDIT: Added another vid of Red 7 with no music, so you can hear the distinctive whine of the Daimler Benz.

P47 ''The Unbreakable''

Germans must have had a lot of ''Is it still flying?

'' moments when shooting at these aircraft

''RAF Lancaster Bomber''

when you see the hands waving to the lancaster is such beautifull sign, and I hope the people will never forget these Warbirds and its crew for what they have done for us.

To the brave firefighters of the Greek air force

the fires, some idiots put on only for profit.
