Default What was the fly-over?

At about 2:13 p.m., fourteen aircraft flew over Hadley (and much else, no doubt) in formation. What was it?

Looked and sounded like a squadron from a WWII carrier in the Pacific theater.

Very cool.

Possibly P 51 Mustangs. One showed up on my radar app, I didn't see any, but did hear them.

Probably going to the Sun-N-Fun air Aeroexpo in Lakeland. Expect many other planes to fly over. That is a great show. Check out the web page SUN 'n FUN Aerospace Expo - Largest Air Show in the Southern US
