Scenes from 'Mel Swanson Day': saluting veterans beneath a low Skyraider flyover, warbirds pressing through storm clouds, smoke-trailing formation passes, the restored A-1 'TC 665' taxiing out, and a panel of aircraft skin signed by friends and family in 2017. Together they capture how the aviation community honors its own, from the time-honored formation salute to a daughter's handwritten message reading 'I Love You Daddy Fly High!'
