Mitchell Madness! Thirteen B-25 Bombers Flying Together! - Thunder Over Michigan 2021

- Опубліковано 8 лип 2024
- The 2021 Thunder Over Michigan airshow hosted a massive gathering of North American B-25 Mitchell bombers, bringing together 14 of these rare pieces of history. This video combines footage from the Saturday afternoon and Sunday shows, when 13 B-25s started in unison, ran their engines up together, then took off for low solo flybys. After the flybys, eight of the B-25s joined together for a formation flyover before landing. Unfortunately the 14th B-25 (Georgia Mae) had a mechanical issue after the Saturday morning show and remained grounded for the rest of the weekend.
The airshow is held annually at Willow Run airport near Detroit, Michigan as a fundraiser for the Yankee Air Museum. The 2021 show also hosted both the US Navy Blue Angels and the USAF Thunderbirds at the same event! Find out more and see photos from the show in our forums: www.airshowstuff.com/forum/vi...

Love to hear a B-25 start up. My Dad was shot down in 1944 while on a bomb run over northern Italy. Mia, pow and still came home after the war. I was a few months old when he was shot down.
We were litterlly here at this air show it was amazing
You can well imagine how surprised the Japanese were when Doolittle and his B-25s showed over Tokyo. The sight and sound is mighty impressive.
Ahh! The intoxicating sound of big radial engines and propellors thrashing the air. All in the form of the best medium bomber produced during WWII. The B-25 Mitchell. Thanks Air Show Stuff.
It’s really amazing to see that this many B-25’s in one place. What a beautiful plane.
My dad was an armorer/tail gunner in B-25’s stationed in Sardinia and Corsica as part of the 437th squadron, 319th group, 12th Air Force, in 1944. He was all of 19 years old.
When I was a kid he used to tell me of his experiences over there. I fell in love with the 25’s and built many plastic kits of them during my youth.
One time in the early ‘70’s he attended an air show at Half Moon Bay, CA and there was a B-25 there. He got to talking to the pilot and the pilot offered him a ride. He was very excited to go. Later, he told me that taxiing and revving up for take off with the whole plane shaking, brought back all of the nervous feelings he had going on missions during the war. But all in all he really enjoyed the ride. I wish I could have gone up with him.
My Father was Bendix top gunner- 69th BS/42 BG(M) - 13th AAF Henderson Field BSI.
He lost three comrades (still aboard) off Buka Is- Test flight for 1st 75mm equipped B-25 J. Put Radio/Gunner in life raft & Rescued by RNZAF PBY5 "Dumbo" off Cape Hanpan.... Submitted research to KIA/MIA at Pearl Harbor . G-d bless'm all
I'm so glad that I got to see these 13 fly on Sunday
old is gold
the fact that there are 13 of them flying is amazing.
more than that
45 of them or worthy over 100 of them are still around
Getting to see Rosie's Reply again in action was a real treat. Listening to all of he bombers flyover was an unforgettable sight and sound!
A single tear rolls down my cheek , so much Amurica !
How could you not LIKE/LOVE a Baker's Dozen? Thank you for making it like I was there!!
The one with tail#18 is now here at Laporte Municipal Airport. Its a beauty.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🛩
Seeing all those Mitchells is inspiring! Such a well balanced design. Everything about a B-25 looks right. Dutch really knew how to design planes. N.A. was by far one of the greatest AV companies. Just imagine taking one of those off the deck of the Hornet. Too bad there aren't any C-Ds. The early versions were my favorites. Salute to Col. Doolittle and crews.
Rosie’s Reply the first B25 in this video with the yellow cowling rings is a D model so there was at least one early bird there!
I love your channel, it reminds me of when my dad was alive and we would map out what air shows we wanted to see. 1970's Southern California had some great ones! Thanks for posting so many great vids.
Wish we could have seen them! Thank you for watching!
Southern California definitely has lots of cool airshows
Just remarkable.
Such beautiful flying machines and still flying!
I was in the right hand pocket of the show. One of the best I've ever been to. Period. To see an F-16 and EA-18 so fast and so close was almost unreal.
My father was a radio gunner with the Marines VMB-443 in the south pacific the Marine Corps variant does its flyby @ 10:41 what a blessing these crews are to keep these great planes looking and flying just like they were in the 1940s THANK YOU TO YOU ALL!!!
The sound of those engines, goosebumps.🤘
I didn't even realize there were that many still flying, to see them all together is incredible. Thanks so much for posting this!
Man the sound of these bombers is glorious and their sound alone tells a huge story behind their legacy is
What an awesome sight and of course the sound!
Does anyone else get a good old fashioned tingles down the back of their neck or goosebumps bumps on their arm.
The work/time/money/arguing that goes into this
Well done yanks👍
From 🇬🇧
Was lucky enough to see Killer B up close when she was on static display at valiant air command in Titusville/FL . But boy this air display is beyond gorgeous
I'm still in awe how they got 16 off an aircraft carrier
Thank you for posting this. I live about 1.5 miles from Willow Run airport. The Thunder Over Michigan show was this past weekend 8-7-21 and 8-8-21. We went on Sunday all day. I really hope you post some more footage from the show. Thanks for having an awesome channel.
👍🏻❤️🦅🇺🇸
More to come! Thanks for watching!
Never forget history and always teach as much of it as you can!
One can imagine what it will sound like with the 1000 bombers raid.....
I’ve been waiting on this video. “Yankee Doodle” is based about ten miles away from me 👍
Amazing show...!! Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What a beautiful sight. Remembering our Heroes of Yesterday and Today.
The B-25 is a sexy plane. With or without paint, those lines.... those engines.....North American really did know how to make some beautiful machines.
Edit... Oh.. man, those poor F-18s....I feel bad for the ground crew, because I know how picky the Blue Angels are about keeping their machines clean.... Oh well, the beautiful old beasts deserved their day to shine together :)
The one at 10:52 is the only example of a true PBJ (Marine variant of the Mitchell) left flying in the world.
Yessir! USN BuNo. 35857, the only one left! She flew 20 hours total to get to the show and back from Southern California
There's no mistaking the raspy, throaty rumble of the B-25 ..
This airshow took place on the 7th and 8th, good timing lol.
OMG! That is so impressive.
I’m happy to see Carolina Girl flying again!
The all silver B-25 Miss Mitchell ftakes off/lands over my house all the time.
My house is right in line with the runway.
Also it is nice to end the video by chance with the thump, thump of a Huey in the background
We often see the "Devil Dog" around Lake Austin and Lake Travis here in Austin, but today we saw the "Yellow Rose" do a few passes today while we were out boating, would love to see the two of them fly together one day!
This is Truly Special. My Favorite WWII Bomber, and SO Many of them.. All the different Liveries.. All Flying and ohMYYY!!
*quickly sits down before swooning*
❤🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩❤
The best sound in the world- times
thirteen equals the greatest
video ever!!
Some sounded in better health than others, loved them all !
A USA Warbirds Airshow vs UK is like a first date without a chaperon, you can touch, feel, talk to owners ...do it !
20:23 Absolutely majestic!
too bad covid fucked up the planning so i wasn't able to see them up close but i was able to see them flying from ecorse
Awesome warbirds!
Beautifull!😍❤️✈️
Go Devil Dog!
Incredible aircraft. What an awesome display
What a beautiful sight...
Priceless pal.
WW2 aircraft like the B 25 just have the best styling. Know they were built to conduct warfare, but they look so good from hangar to flight.
Great shots of Semper Fi! This was such an awesome airshow
She’s a beauty.
Que hermosos estos viejos!!!. Que bien conservados que estan!!.
Beautiful.
Beautifully shot and presented, thanks so much for sharing!
- Ed on the Ridge
Doolittle would've love this
Beautiful machines
very cool
Fantastic sight! Great to see this many warbirds!
That is awesome. I didn't think that there were that many flying nowadays. I want to build a RC version of this craft.
Waw,its so cool 👍
Very impressive fantastic air show. Nice plane turbo prop B-25 mitchell. I like this plane turbo prop 👍🤗🇺🇸🇺🇸💘💔❤️⭐🌟🌠✨
I love the B-25. This is great.
I was at that show and MB11 sounded so freaking good
I remember they did something like this at Van Nuys airport California way back in the 80s
Most impressive‼️ love seeing the bombers of WW2
Dude I was here and it was so fun!
Privet from Russia! Great video!
Loudest vehicle I've ever been in for sure
Great
I was here and I thought that big plane at the back was a ac 130 but it was a airbus and the thunder birds where holy loud
We'll be going to the airshow for the first time this year, although we'll be watching from outside the show grounds. Still, I can't wait wait! In addition to FiFi and Diamond Lil', there will be *TEN* P-51's at the show! *TEN!*
It’s a shame we can’t get that many B-26 Marauder’s in one place at the same time..
Now that’s an air show …..
Beautiful Bird.
The Movie "Catch 22 " had an EXCELLENT take off scene, and other spectacular scenes . Most excellent ovie , The STARS were Perfect. ][ have yet to see the remake of that Movie, ][ hopoe they didn't cut any flight scenes..
Ty You, Great Work.!
SALUTE
Later B-25 Bombers Were Designated AS PBJs But Still Always The Mitchell
Du délire!! magnifique par leurs beauté par leurs quantités merci à tous c'est homme et femme peut être pour leurs entretiens des machines de grande collection merci merci merci homme et respect pour ceux qui ont combattue et sacrifier leurs pour notre liberté 🗽.
If only I could click the like button 100 times!!!
That's alot of b25s
Simper Fi looking pretty.Devil Dog’s my girl.
Just a taste of what it must have sounded like to hear bombers cuing up for a job.
I want the one with the corsica on it !!
The Eagle screams...
I will always associate radial engined bombers with glen miller's "in the mood"
Def different than the twin engined mosquito with merlines 👍
My god how glorious/terrifying the sound of the formations were. Just imagine 100s of these doing a bombing run with the escort fighters. Would have been mice to hve these 13 plus 4-5 fighters to simulate what it would have been like during the war time. But this is a nice glimpse to have a better understanding of the terror of these aircraft.
I'm curious if the hangar behind the blues is the new roush hangar?
Nope, this one is for Avflight the FBO
It's weird there's lots of mitchells still flying but no marauders
never forget. 12-7-1941 PEARL HARBOUR. a day which will live in infamy. gooooood morning japan. the time is B-25 am, and time for some payback.
Hello.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Pilot at 7:00 rotated early and near pulled a tail strike 😲
That's what that bump under the tail is for.
Anybody having a CATCH-22 flashback?
wow1
I only see 8
This is called aircraft porn.
Raid Doolittle
Me and the boys going to liberate Europe
Drone
I deliver that fuel. ;)
never seen a whole squadron of ww2 era bombers anywhere except the movies. wow
Great show, but would have been better without the annoying announcer who couldn't shut up for a second.
