The Warhawk Air Museum in Nampa, Idaho, hosted a four-ship warbird fly-over in observance of Memorial Day on May 29, 2023.
In addition to the museum’s classic two P-40 Warhawks and their P-51C Mustang, the flight was joined by the P-51D “Patty Ann II” from Lewiston, Idaho. Pilots for the event included John Maloney and John Hinton from Chino, California; Jim Thomas from Danville, California; and Gary Peters from Lewiston.
The video from Fred Johnsen, General Aviation News’ Of Wings & Things columnist and the force behind airailimages on YouTube includes footage from Memorial Day, as well as preparations on the day before at the Nampa, Idaho, airport. The opening scene features an F-86 displayed at Winnemucca, Nevada.
You don’t really celebrate Memorial Day. You honor it.
