C-49 Wild Kat of the WWII Airborne Demonstration Team at WWII Weekend 2025 in Reading, PA.
Despite some pretty awful weather the show went on with abbreviated flying portions all three days. Getting to see the Fw-190 and Me-262 slice through the air with the pair of P-51s was amazing, even if we did miss out on many of the other acts. Here's to a dryer 2026.

The WWII Airborne Demonstration Team's Wild Kat drops a half stick of paratroopers at the WWII Weekend in Reading, PA, June 2024. The winds were too high on Saturday to properly jump but the ADT gave us a good show on Sunday to make up for it.
