I will check, I don't think this is July. Looking at the trees it appears to be later in fall. I've seen pics if that day in July and I agree 3 hit K-37's and a K-36 must have been just amazing to see and hear. As always looking forward to you new release, any new vintage footage is always worth seeing!! I'm especially looking forward to seeing the 497's first run after shopping.
