Too bad there are no formation pictures of the most unique formation in the air today. We flew the Collings UH-1E Huey on the left wing of B-17 " 909" from Fredricksburg, TX to San Marcos, TX !

Great shots of Ole Yeller and Betty Jane.

Kudos to the Collings Foundation for getting two unusual formations in the air today. :D

Ober, she lives in Idaho. They brought her to Fredricksburg for Bob Hoover's birthday party.

Looks like fun stuff! Also looks like the ceiling came down a bit in those last two photos. .

Very nice. I saw both aircraft (plus the B-17 a bit earlier) come down the corridor yesterday. Made my day!

Cool photos Jim! 8) I really like the one of the Mustang in the low light. There are some neat reflections in those lighting conditions that don't get photographed very often.
