Viewing Historical events

Posted by Scott WRG Editor on Mon Aug 11, 2003 11:29:19 AM

First, lets define some basic assumptions about this question. 1. You can visit any time period in aviation history. 2. Your invisible and can't alter history. 3. You can fly like superman.

Given these three parameters, what 5 historical aviation events would you like to witness?

Mine are:

1. Pearl Harbor
2. Battle Of Britain
3. Battle Of Midway (hovering above Ensign Gay seems a good spot)
4. Watching a Ju 87G make a gun run at a T-34
5. Flying in a B-17 stream over Europe, mid-1944.

What would you guys pick?

Also, a sixth choice would be to watch my father launch off a carrier for the first time in an A-3.
