Historic Flight Over Washington D.C. Honors Nation's Veterans

Event Organized By The Culpeper, VA Air Fest

Approximately 30 World War II-era T-6 Texans flew in formation down the Potomac River last Saturday.

The "Potomac Flight," organized by Culpeper (VA) Air Fest in honor of DAV (Disabled American Veterans), was said to be the first-ever flyover of the Pentagon and Arlington National Cemetery. It was intended to pay tribute to the services and sacrifices veterans have made to secure our nation's freedom.

The planes made the round-trip Saturday from Culpeper Regional Airport. The ceremonial formation flight was visible from Alexandria, Arlington and Rosslyn, all in Northern Virginia.
