This is shot from the 70th Anniversary of the Dolittle Raiders at US Air Force Museum in Dayton,Ohio.

There are only 4 Veterans left of this raid.

Did you get to go and see it?

Wow, that is quite a photo, every flyable B-25 in the U.S. must have been there.

No, wish I could of but that thing called work and school got in the way

Wow, that is quite a photo, every flyable B-25 in the U.S. must have been there.

According to the article there was 20 of them there and they were all flyable.

Gen. James Doolittle speaks to B-25 workers at North American's factory after the Doolittle Raid.
"Shangri-La is right here in this plant" he told them.
And look at their expressions, it's clear they regard him as a hero for taking one of the birds they made over Japan..

Wow. I live in Akron and would love to have seen it, but I couldn't go as well. I wanted to see the goblets they all drank from every year, and to meet the men from the book. Sad to say you live in Ohio and I still didn't go. I haven't been there since I was a kid. Way cool place.

I was lucky enough to be a crew member aboard "Executive Sweet", one of the 20 B-25's at the 70th Doolittle Reunion. (We're the third aircraft on the right side of the photo in post #1 above.) It was indeed the experience of a lifetime. And by the way, there are 5 surviving Raiders...only 4 were able to attend the Reunion, and I was privileged to meet each of them, along with 2 survivors of the USS Hornet (the carrier that took them to Japan).

There's some good B-25's for FS2004/FSX, here's a freeware job I downloaded a while back-
