We ended up in a good spot. The pix above were to the south when they were going from Addison airport to the first loop in Carrollton. Then they passed again enroute to Addison/Beltline Rd from Presbyterian-Plano. Then they came north to Baylor-plano. They were basically in two groups. Older planes flying in formation with a big wwII bomber, and four fighter planes flying in a formation trailed by a big 1960’s type jet with the flat triangular wings.
Photos coming in a bit.
The missile-plane was kinda doing it’s own thing. Mostly trailing the fighters, but made a solo loop around the hospital. I added an enlargement of the plane to the photo.
I just finished reading Target Tokyo about Doolittle and 78 others taking 16 B-25s off the Hornet aircraft carrier to bomb Tokyo without fighter escort. It was great seeing and hearing the B-25 and its fighters at Baylor Plano this morning.
In the 80s I worked in a building in the Quorum with a view of Addison airport. We would go for weeks without paying attention to aircraft sounds but when the WWII aircraft approached, several of us would race to the windows.
