Too bad I get this link sent to me afterwards! Undecided

This would have been quite the experience to witness firsthand! Cool

Watching the video gave me goosebumps....

"In the largest B-25 formation since World War II, B-25 Pacific Princess attends 68th Doolittle Reunion on April 27, 2010. B-25J 'Pacific Princess' and crew participates in the largest gathering of B-25's since WWII for the 68th Doolittle Raiders Reunion held April 17th & 18th, 2010 at USAF Museum, Wright Field Dayton OH. 17 B-25's formed up for a fly-over the Doolittle Memorial ceremony. 8 Doolittle Raiders of the original 79 remain, 4 were able to attend the 2010 event. Air to Air shots filmed from the tail gunner seat of 'Pacific Princess', ship #2 in the 17 ship formation."

I've watched it about a half-dozen times. Cool

Keep seeing a little something 'else' each time.

It's a very well edited and scored piece of video.

Thanx for the link to that thread, I'd missed it totally even when I looked around to see if there was a mention prior to this event. Embarrassed

That would've been an incredible thing to attend.

Did you get to go?

Alas, no.
Despite my great desire.

My wife's best friend, and a friend of mine, was getting married that weekend. Friday was the rehearsal dinner, Saturday the wedding, and Sunday, I could not get back in time.

As a mild condolence, the reception was held near the Ohio River. It was "Thunder" weekend. Fireworks at night, but all day long, fly by after flyby of various aricraft. Small stuff, and big.

A B-1 bomber made 3 passes, each a little faster then the last. He screamed by on the last, point toward the sky and hit the throttle. The jet flame was half as long as the aircraft as he departed almost vertical.

Many other aircraft as well.

I would have traded it for the Fly over at WPAFB though.
