An Indy 500 Connection to the War-- Part 2

The Flyover back in 2013 consisted of six World War II-era vintage warbirds.  One was a North American B-25 Mitchell bomber, the ones used by Doolittle's Raiders.  The other five were North American T-6 Texan trainer aircraft, the plane so many of our pilots trained on for the war.  They were supplied by the Cincinnati Warbirds FAA Squadron 18 and Tri-State Warbird Museum.

No Indy 500s were held 1942-1945 because of the war.

At this year's beginning ceremony, a World War II veteran turned the "Spirit of 45" over to the younger veterans.

Everything about the Indy 500 says memorial Day.
