Thank you for your service, Juan. My father was a Naval aviator in the Pacific during WWII and Korea. My Father in Law was in Vietnam, and served in The Air Force for 30 years. They came home alive. Remembering all those who did not come home alive, those who are still missing, and those who war had changed. Prayers for no more wars in the future.

Wonderful ❤. Rather emotional to watch. Here in the UK we remember the sacrifice of so many young American airmen to whom the English Countryside was the last friendly place they'd ever see before heading off over occupied Europe. Thousands of miles from home they gave their lives for our freedom 🇺🇲🇬🇧 lest we forget!

I loved the initial shots: An old man, showing his age, lovingly tending to his ancient but venerated and pristine airplane, towing it out of the hangar with an equally ancient and venerated vehicle, a WW2 GP (Jeep). It was heartening to see how the "old man" has retained his formation flying skills, still agile in the air even if showing his age on the ground.

Juan-I am always deeply moved whenever I see a missing man formation. I never thought I would see one from the missing man plane. That was well done, air crews. Juan- Your video and audio editing was superb. And, you put the cherry on the sundae with the music overlay. Thank you for your service from a proud USAF father.

THANK YOU to all involved in this flyover. Wonderful tribute.

I kinda get chills when I see or hear ANY warbird. It reminds me of all those people who worked to produce these aircraft and deliver them to the military. And of course, ALL those aviators who selflessly flew.... and those who fly... because they believed in this country... and it was the right thing to do! Thanks for you service Juan Browne.

Never forget the ultimate sacrifice of millions of Americans. Thank you Juan for sharing this fitting tribute.

My father was retired Air Force, and flew 141s from the East Coast, both from Dover and McGuire. He passed away 20 years ago. For me, this video brought back the memories - and the tears. Thanks Juan, for all that you continue to do. Play hard and stay safe.

This reminds me of my mother's uncle who piloted a B-17 over Italy during WW-2. His airplane was hit with flak but he managed to make it to occupied Yugoslavia where he crashed, and eventually made it out with the help of the underground. Thanks Juan for the tribute.

Just an Aussie civilian here but that was great! We treasure our bonds and history with you guys.

I have always gotten emotional watching the Missing Man from the ground. This was unbelievably tough to be a part of just watching this video. What an honor this must have been to have actually taken part of this flight. We can never forget those men and women who paid the ultimate price and never came home. Thank you Juan, for what you do.

When I was about 10 years old, my father took an AT-6 from Charlotte down to Savannah to transition from P-51s to F-86s for the North Carolina Air National Guard. The year may have been 1957-58. i thrilled to be able to sit in the T-6 before my father flew off to Georgia.

Very nicely done! We veterans truly appreciate the tributes to our fallen heroes. Thank you Juan! I’m sure it means as much to you.

[rickrickard]

Juan takes many of us, where we can never go ourselves. This was awesome Juan, Thanks. I got chills.

[captbad]

Thank you Juan,
Every memorial day, I cry off and on for our fallen, till noon. Then at noon the flag goes back to the top from half mast. Where we honor those veterans who are still with us. You threw me a curve here, now I'm crying again. Thank you Juan and God bless you and your family. Great stuff.

I watch your channel regularly so several times I was about to write with some questions or “great job” comment. However hundreds or thousands peoples’ comments must be difficult to read for you…
…however!
As T-6 (CCAF Harvard) operator in (far away) Poland I can’t help myself to comment how much I admire the way the vintage aviation is preserved and operated in USA. This movie gives the essentials …it makes me to express BIG THANK YOU! The way you are give inspiration well outside of US…

Lost my dad in 69 on a routine supply mission to Alaska. He was in the AF reserve. He couldn't take not being in the air after retiring from the USAF. This is the BEST video I've ever watched on YT. WELL DONE
