Thanks for the great post Pilot Dan.
I forwarded it to my father in law who was a tail gunner on one of these and later "flew the boom" on the early re-fuelers.
I love these old planes.
Do you ever come to the Quad Cities Air Show?

If they want to do a prologue or intro or even a banner with suitable words fine!

Well, I agree about preferring to not have the music dubbed in - BUT, I gotta say, that was NOT "Country Joe". It was Aaron Tippen, who has done many patriotic songs. "Country Joe" MacDonald was from an entirely different era and genre - Vietnam war protest songs, etc. I'd have a major problem if his music had been dubbed in to the video!

Slightly off track, but the royal wedding in Great Britain had a nice fly over with a Lancaster, Hurrican and a Spitfire alll nicely done without any extra music!
