The story of this wing of highly trained military pilots is quite interesting.

In October 1999, 431 Bomber Squadron was presented its today's colors to commemorate 25 years of service to the country. Please, read more information at links below -

Hi Mike,
Impressive tight formation with so many planes. Red and white colors work well together with the blue sky. Very sharp with this short exposure.

Супер! Что то я пропустил этот кадр, отличный захват! Только не понял, что за модель? На слуху бомбардировщики только тяжёлые, В-29. И истрибители типа аэрокобра да спитфайё.
Удачи!
Сергей
