Classic Warcraft to Fly Over DC Thursday

Saw this this morning. Thursday April 10th at about 1:15 p.m. there will be a fly over of the Air Force Memorial neat the Pentagon by a Flying Fortress, a Mustang, a Kittyhawk and a Spitfire to honor U.S. airmen who died during World War Two. They will take off from Andrews Air Force base, and then circle the Air Force Memorial near the Pentagon before returning to Andrews.
