well if the date is right on the photo there wasnt an issue with how close they actually were. being the last B-25 in the formation that day i got to see it all and they had enough distance in fact from the ground picture it looks way closer then i remember seeing it... and no i dont have a picture i was observer during the flight and didnt have time to scan the sky and get a picture as well.

Absolutely not. I apologize for not making that clearer when using your quoted text. I agree with you, it's an interesting picture - but certainly not a controversial one.

Well, here's how it looked with my point-n-click as I was making for the exit.

From his original post...

Does this show reckless flying or does the angle of the photo compress severely the distance between the 2 bomber as 1 overflies the other?


It read to me like he really didn't know.

Sorry if it seemed like I jumped on you. I just see several folks who drop a hammer on this guy when he posts, and I don't see the point. I figure that, if there's someone whose threads I don't like, I don't have to read them.
