50th Anniversary Airshow held in Yuma Arizona

50th Anniversary Airshow held in Yuma Arizona,March 14, 2009.
This re-enactment of the attack of Dec. 07, 1941 on Pearl Harbor dubbed "Tora.Tora,Tora" included replica Japanese Zeros and Kate Bombers and many bomb explosions, ending with a wall of fire that broke the Guiness Records. The flame was 15 stories high and almost 2 miles long-10,173.8 feet long to be exact.To quote the Yuma Sun" The smoke from the burn was so thick it actually cast shade over the airield and the thousands of spectators for several minutes".
Thank you Larry Easton for providing the wide-angle shots.
