Corrections & Additions:
⚠️ Grossly insensitive comments will be removed. Feel free to debate the necessity of warbirds in airshows to keep our shared history and the history of those who served and fell alive, but be warned that you risk treading upon families, friends, and fallen. Tread lightly.
1. The pilot of the P-63 may have been Captain Craig Hutain. This is from a single source; I was unable to confirm it.
