Every year on May 4, war victims are remembered in the Netherlands. Traditionally the British Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight pays a flying tribute to airmen who lost their lives in World War II.  This year their Avro Lancaster could be captured over the south of the country.

Bernie Vasquez pilots Scott Slocum's Beech A36 Bonanza as Scott works with the Collings Foundation's Consolidated B-24J Liberator "Witchcraft" during a photo shoot off the coast of Southern California. I was shooting from the open door of my own A36, flown by Mike Hastings. Wish we'd had a fourth aircraft to take a photo of the unusual three-ship stack!
