Victory in Europe - VE Day 75 Years Later

Today is the anniversary of 75 years after the Victory in Europe (V-E) Day. There are videos on the Commemorative Air Force website. The CAF video is also available on YouTube.

They had a Commemorative Air Force conducted a flyover for the anniversary in the Phoenix area.

This isn't a very good photo. This is a good as I could get since it wasn't closer to our house and I used my phone with limited zoom capabilities.

Here are two photos my son took with his camera with zoom capabilities.
