The traveling Vietnam Wall is a 3/5 sized replica of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC.  It travels throughout the US to allow those that cannot make the trip to Washington DC an opportunity to see the memorial, rekindle friendships and to help heal. In mid-October, the wall came to Santa Barbara. Michael "Viper" Maloco organized and led the flight for a couple of flyovers to show our support. I flew with Ron Alldredge in the #2 aircraft.  Michael "Donut" Hohls flew the #3 ship and Marc "Big Daddy" Russell flew in the #4 ship. After the flyovers, Viper passed the lead to Big Daddy to get some wingman time and to allow me to get some shots of Viper from a better angle. It was a beautiful flight and a great show of support for those who fought in Vietnam.
