Warbirds over Illinois

For the last 4 years now the Peru airport has sponsored a TBM Avenger fly in and air show.  One day out of the year vintage WW 2 era fighters, bombers, torpedo planes and more make their way to the Illinois Valley and fans from all over the region come to pay respect to these air classics that are still flying today.

I couldn't make it to the current show this year (Just as well, it started raining shortly after it was scheduled to begin) but here are some memories from past shows for you to peruse and enjoy.  Maybe you'll see a plane your grandfather flew?
