The Flyover back in 2013 consisted of six World War II-era vintage warbirds. One was a North American B-25 Mitchell bomber, the ones used by Doolittle's Raiders. The other five were North American T-6 Texan trainer aircraft, the plane so many of our pilots trained on for the war. They were supplied by the Cincinnati Warbirds FAA Squadron 18 and Tri-State Warbird Museum.
No Indy 500s were held 1942-1945 because of the war.
At this year's beginning ceremony, a World War II veteran turned the "Spirit of 45" over to the younger veterans.
Everything about the Indy 500 says memorial Day.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
