I think one may have been a B-25, but they cut away too fast to see what the two fighters were....

that is what I was guessing, but figured that they could have done a lot better than that. Should have brought the Confederate Air Force (they are called something else now, PC you know) but couple of trainers for the Super Bowl? Craig

They looked like T-6 Texans to me.

I agree, at first I thought they were P-47s, but on second very quick look, I suspect they were T-6's or SNJ's. The twin engine/twin tailed A/C was definitely a B-25.
They are now euphemistically called the "Commemorative Air Force", that is, until some non-PC political or ethnic group negatively usurps the name "Commemorative" and the CAF will have to find another name to satisfy the PC police. . .
