#historyofwar #ww2 Visited Fagen Fighters https://www.fagenfighterswwiimuseum.org/ today. As an old aircraft fixer and part time history buff this was great. All of their exhibited planes except 2 are flyable. Got to see a checkout flight of very rare Grumann F6F-5 with low high speed pass. Always torn between excitement seeing and hearing the old #warbirds fly, and the sobering thought of staggering human loss and sacrifices of wars they represent.
