My memory has dimmed a little, but, on at the informal display on the Friday prior to the weekend's 1975 display, the CAF put up a formation that comprised the B-29, B-17, B-24, B-25, and B-26 Invader (in which I was lucky enough to fly); there might just have been 2 B-25s, and some fighters. There was a photo-ship, and I believe one of the pics was used as USAF official for a while (recruiting poster?). Perhaps someone out there has a copy and could post it here? TIA.
