Well people, that's it. I am unhappy because I can't attend in Margraten tomorrow. Hopefully someone else will post pictures of it.

The weather was perfect. I am always hoping for good weather because I love to see the fly-over.

It is in Dutch but ..... there is an interview with Frank W. Towers. The president of the Old Hickory veterans association. We met him on Saturday as you can see in the picture report above.

 

I don't know why they broadcasted the 2 airplanes and not the four with the missing man formation.

 

Regards,

 

Frank
