Restored warbirds gather at a veterans reunion, from the folded-wing A-1 Skyraider "Lieutenant America" and P-47 Thunderbolts "Wicked Wabbit" and "Hun Hunter" to the P-51D Mustang "Ain't Misbehavin'" being readied for flight. Shot largely at the June 2014 fly-in at Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport, these images catch the working side of warbird preservation too, with avgas trucks, volunteer maintenance crews, and close details of a radial engine and Hamilton Standard propeller.
