Warbird formation flights are my favorite part of an airshow.  Whether it's a warbird flying with a modern aircraft (called Heritage Flights by the Air Force and a Legacy Flights by the Navy) or multiple warbirds, these flights are a great opportunity to see the aircraft that have helped defend our nation.

The warbird segment of the 2002 Hanscom AFB show featured a formation flight by 2 aircraft types that flew together early in World War 2, the B-25 Mitchel and the P-40 Warhawk.  The shark's mouth painted on the P-40 was made famous by the American Volunteer Group, also known as the Flying Tigers.
