Went there in person along with an old friend. It was a wonderful event — one group of historic aircraft after another, banking around the World War II Memorial and the Washington Monument and then flying low along Independence Avenue past the National Air & Space Museum.
Already there are a number of videos of it posted on You Tube. Here’s one:

Saw a video of it landing on Facebook. Engine Sounded quite rough and made a popping sound like merlin’s do when they throttle back

It was certainly the Avenger that broke formation, not the Helldiver.

Odd…during the Helldiver and 2 x Avenger flyby, one of the Avengers suddenly broke right and split from the formation.
