Flying Legends has a history of powerful Spitfire opening sequences, and 2014 was no exception.  This year saw 11 Spitfires involved, representing almost the full lineage – Mk.I to Mk.XVIII in this instance – that involved a massed formation flypast, a Mk.I quartet and a traditional big tail-chase.

An aircraft maintainer stands on the flightline in front of a snow-covered C-5M Super Galaxy Jan. 6, 2015, at Dover Air Force Base, Del. Aircraft maintenance operations continued to keep the mission moving even though 1.4 inches of snow blanketed the flightline and aircraft.

Love the shot of the Victors, while I think the Vulcan and Valiant are great the Victor just impresses me more.

Anyone know what color the KC-46s are? Hard to tell even from the great photo above.
