John Collver soars above the flight line in an AT-6 Texan “War Dog” during his performance at the 2016 MCAS Miramar Air Show aboard Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif., Sept. 24. Collver uses the World War II-era aircraft to demonstrate the aerial maneuvers taught to dogfighting American pilots more than 60 years ago. The MCAS Miramar Air Show showcases world-class performers, military flight demonstration teams, the capabilities of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force and celebrates Miramar’s longstanding relationship with the local San Diego community.
