From the March 29th Dayton (Ohio) Daily News.
As many as 24 World War II-era B-25s will be landing at Grimes Field in Urbana, Illinois beginning April 14th. One of them will be "Champaign Gal."
While in Illinois, they will be open for visitors and flights in these authentic pieces of history. These were the planes that Doolittle's Raiders used in that attack on Japan that did so much for American morale in the months after Pearl Harbor.
They will leave April 17th and fly to Dayton to take part in the flyover to mark the 70th anniversary of the raid.
I was planning to go to Dayton, but the GRBs at Big Oil and others have gotten the price of gas up too high. It is even too high to go to Champaign-Urbana, even though they are much closer.
Drat You GRBs. --GreGen
The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
