On a kinda related note, this week will see the 70th Anniversary of the Doolittle Raid.

The annual Raiders reunion is being held at the National Museum of the USAF in Dayton Ohio. All five living Raiders will be there, and the plan is to fly at least 25 B-25 Mitchells into Wright Field for the event. Yes, that number is TWENTY-FIVE Mitchells - it's being billed as the largest gathering of B-25s since they left squadron service at the end of WWII. They're already gathering the birds this weekend in Urbana OH (Grimes Field). Some of the Michell crews are offering paid flights in their birds.

Freepers in the area should seriously consider making it to this. There've been suggestions that this'll be the last public Raiders reunion, so NMUSAF and other other involved organizations are really pulling out the stops.

Wow. How neat would that be to see!

If you can get a ride in a B-25, do it. I was able to ride in a B-25 last year. One of the other passengers flew B-17s and was a B-25 instructor during WWII. It was a great opportunity.
