| 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.
