I'd say this is sub-related. Watch the parachute.

Goose pimples ain't all, Nancy gotta dry out my keyboard also. I thought when they were talking about the flag that they were refering to the flag design on his parachute. Then when that giant flag appeared, the tears just erupted. What a show!!
And the P-31 Mustangs were special, too.
Thanks for sharing!

It was a great video and like Steamboat I watched the other videos of the P-51's. Everytime I see one of those I think, "man, I was born too late". Can ya'll imagine the thrill of hedge hopping in one of those machines? I'm sorry but submarines would have to take a backseat to flying one of those.
Jets today just go too dog-gone fast. Flying that low in a jet, when something comes into your vision you're there and splattered before you can react. Or can you imagine the thrill of taking a B-25 or B-17 down to the deck and hauling arse over the tree tops. Hot damn, the heart pulse would hit the limits. Fun meter would be pegged.
