!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Sadly, they weren’t racing, but that would have been amazing! They were there as a show of Air Force timing where 100 aircraft converged on the field in short order.

Makes my heart ache to know that this kind of thing will never be replicated.

One hundred B-29s in one place? Sweet Christ! The noise must have been glorious!

Not 100 B-29s, but a mixed force. Still, B-29s, B-36s(!), F-86s and more in one place.

I can think of literally nothing more awesome than heavy bomber pylon racing.

So many B-29s, and only one (hopefully 2 soon) still flying. I can’t even imagine the sound of 330 B-29s over Tokyo, or the sound of the Thousand Bomber Raids of 1942.

I just clicked the link. Somebody was racing a surplus B-26? Really?? That’s awesome. And so many Mustangs and Airacobras and Corsairs. And the modified Texans were wicked. Man, what a collection of aircraft. Thanks for sharing.

I like how some of the pics of the race planes show them apparently parked at people’s houses.

My HOA would never go for that.
