Thanks for this info. I'm always game to learn something. Canada geese it is!

Did you read the whole thread ? Perhaps it was Flight 19 finally escaping that time warp in the Bermuda Triangle. :MOJE_whot::boom:

Second best air show in the country. Oshkosh fly-in is the best. Yes, the Blue Angels will be there. Fantastic event if you've never been. I built and flew my own Glasair to the show a few years ago. I didn't see or hear the flyover, but suspect it was a flight of P-51's. Have a spare $million and you could buy one. You will never forget the sound of the rolls-royce engines!
The local rag didn’t make a big deal of this air show? With all us veterans here? Is there an alternative paper we can get along with the Sun.

The history of the P51 in WWII
 
Gray Eagles Documentary
Best movie I've ever seen documenting the pilots that flew them in the war. Seeing and hearing the P-51 is a lifetime event. The story of an ace that flew the 51 in combat.

true, however
A Canadian goose could be any goose from Canada...and if there was more than one goose, an English major would say that the plural of Goose (which is Geese) should be used

so there you have it...Canadian Geese is an acceptable description!!

besides, how could anyone actually determine whether a specific bird was a Canada Goose, or part of a flock of a Canadian Geese (a.k.a. snowbirds) on their way home?

The Atlantic flyway is open all the way up to Newfoundland...no ID's required

Just saying.....:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:
