TFR over NASCAR race was possibly violated, too

It appeared around the national anthems, fireworks, and Black Hawk fly-bys.
We were sitting in the Turn 10 bleachers when I saw the aircraft, which I
believe faces west.

The two aircraft in formation were the Collings Foundation B-17
"Nine-O-Nine" and their B-24 "Dragon And His Tail."

Thanks for the correction and the elaboration.

They were enroute to Syracuse, NY for one of their "visits" (according
to the CF's website.)

Yep, for US$400 or so they were giving out rides in the B-17 up in
Syracuse. There were also tours of the aircraft.

You work for NBC/TNT? Very cool. Do you travel to all of the NASCAR
races?

Ah, ok. We were firmly planted in the production truck at that point in the
proceedings.

As a matter of fact, I do. I work the first half for FOX and the second
half for NBC.

Gotta love that Hi-Def!

Won some money gambling in Feb, and bought a Hi Def TV with it. Already had
the surround sound. Now I watch nascar every Sunday with it.

I would watch more, if Junior would get off his rear end, and do something.
What is it going to take to get things going with him? Any insights?

Personally, I think the crew / car swap with MW just screwed up that entire
team.

It's entirely possible that with mucho dinero, Jr has decided to say "screw
it" for this season, we'll get 'em next year.

YMMV...
