One of the vintage WWII planes participating in the historic flyover of Washington Friday made an emergency landing at Reagan National Airport.

A TBM Avenger broke from its flight path to head toward the airport, which is in Virginia, just across the Potomac River from D.C.

"It was in perfect formation with everyone else, then it broke heavily," said Andrew Shirley, who witnessed the emergency landing from Gravelly Point, a park at the end of the airport's runway.

The airport, which closed to commercial traffic during the noon hour for the flyover, also shared a short video of the landing.

2. Bush 41?

Isn't that the plane George HW Bush flew in WWII?

3. I think so. Similar, anyway.

Single engine, two person crew, torpedo bomber.
