    Check out another massive gathering of bombers which brought together all 3 modern bombers (B-52, B-2, and B-1) plus warbird bombers (B-29s, B-17, and B-25s) - ua-cam.com/video/60jLfm7Z-oM/v-deo.html

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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 :)

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.
