Rare 'war birds' fly over Washington

edition.cnn.com — It was a truly unusual sight as three vintage "war birds" flew over the U.S. Air Force Memorial near the Pentagon to help honor Americans lost in World War II during combat missions from airfields in England.

    Great story and seeing that 85 year old retired Major General still hard at the sticks, amazing!
  • Aidenf77, on 04/13/2008, -0/+3I'm glad to see stories like this. It makes me sad that "the greatest generation" will soon fade into history entirely. Their sacrifice should be remembered. Dugg in their honor and memory.
