That is one of the prettiest scenes and most fun looking flying that I've seen.
But I notice they don't land there. at least not in the video. I wonder where they flew from and how far it was. The Corsair is listed as being from Bob Odegard, and the 51 flown by Casey Odegard. Those boys are a loooooong was from home in North Dakota!!!
And there is a lot of pretty , but very wet terrain underneath them. Warbirds don't float well , at least those like a P-40 or P-51 with a big scoop underneath them.

Bill - From what I've read, they staged out of SXM, Princess Juliana on Sint Maarten, which is about 10 - 15 minutes in an Islander cruising at, what, 140 knots? I'm not sure about the flight to SXM from Texas ...
