It Was A Day Filled With Warbirds at the Great New England Air Show! [PHOTOS]

THIS IS A "THURSDAY THROWBACK" POST.  IT WAS FIRST PUBLISHED IN AUGUST , 2012

I just returned from a wonderful weekend at the New England Air Show in Chicopee, Massachusetts. It is the largest air show in America.

More than 100,000 attended over the weekend. It was 95-degrees but that didn't stop me or our 15-year-old boy, Joey, from having a ball.

The theme was "The Greatest Generation" with a special emphasis on World War II.

Westover Air Base is massive, and is in fact the largest air base in the U.S. What a fun and interesting time it was for old guys like me and teenagers alike. Hey, any of you "air jockeys" remember what those white stripes on the planes wing meant?
