kkoether Pentaxian	It's not often you get to see 3 B-17's and 5 P-51's flying together anymore. This was a flyby at the Museum of the United States Air Force on Thursday May 17, 2018 to commemorate the opening of the restored Memphis Bell.

Every time I saw it in the air that week it was down so a mechanical issue is certainly likely.
