Picture of the Day: Formation maintenance
KT Budde-Jones submitted this photo with a note: “Peter and Richard Lauderback have dedicated their lives to keeping World War II fighters flying. For the past 40 years they have supported Stallion 51’s fleet and kept their brother, Lee Lauderback in the cockpit of ‘Crazy Horse.’ As the expression goes, ‘they have forgotten more than most people know about warbirds.’ When they work on the Mustangs, they work in silent synchronization — formation Mustang maintenance.”
