Saw a brief shot on the news today of a Heritage Flight over the Cubs game today in Chicago. Anybody know who was flying the Mustang?

Unusual show:
No Navy aircraft and no army aircraft except Golden Knight jump F-27. Essentially all USAF show. Plus, there was no media coverage of any anti-war/weapons protestors.

They must have known you would be "armed and dangerous". 8)

Wish I'd seen your flight.

I've gone to the show the past 2 years now, and somehow I've lucked out and managed to be right under the path into the box from behind the crowd. It is quite sweet to have the heritage flight come right over your head before the break. Great job leading the flight again this year Vlado. See ya again in a week at Rockford!
