Love it. The 51 and the Raptor look so strange together there! So far apart technically they seem barely related. And yet the Raptor will almost certainly stay in service for far longer than the 51 did.

P.S. Would not have been a 3!

You are correct, they were all pacing each other, flying slowly past the crowd.

Great photo, I like the yellow reflection in the F-22 cockpit... I think the D variant of P51 was also built somewhere in Texas?
The difference in pitch attitude of the planes is interesting... probably they are flying the same speed and the jets have the nose-up attitude for slow flight. This is all just a guess, of course - the jets could be just zooming past the Mustang :).
