I heard the distinctive drone of muptiple propellers overhead and ran outside expecting to see a bomber or an old DC-3. Instead, a flight of four WW2 fighters passed in a diamond formation. Minutes later, a P-51 and an F-16 went by, wingtip to wingtip.

And I didn't get any photos! Waaaaaaah!

Most of the warbirds that fly out of Riverside are T-6s, T -28s and a few piston MIGs.  There is at least one P-51 and another new arrival that I don't remember the type at the moment but it is a fighter.  There is also at least one Soviet Block jet trainer but I don't remember the model at the moment.  It might be a L-33.  I believe there is a Corsair (Black Sheep Squadron) based at TUL.

I believe all DC-3s are old.

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

The Guard flies F16s every day, but I've never seen one in formation with a P51.

As someone who is a resident living just south of the airport. I know OANG runs drills every day, but none more than Monday.  Especially Monday mornings.  Since I've been working from home more and more I hear them a lot more frequently.

Working at home like that would not work for me - I would be running out to look at the planes every 4 minutes!
