Commemoration of the 75th Anniversary of the Doolittle Raid at EAA Airventure!

https://www.eaa.org/en/airventure/eaa-a ... nture-2017
Other highlights include:

Arrival of at least 16 B-25 bombers at AirVenture by Tuesday, July 25, with the aircraft parked in AirVenture’s Warbirds area. Notable aircraft already confirmed include Panchito (Delaware Aviation Museum); Briefing Time (Mid-Atlantic Air Museum); Yankee Warrior (Yankee Air Museum); Miss Hap (American Airpower Museum); Barbie III (Cavanaugh Flight Museum); Devil Dog (Commemorative Air Force); and Miss Mitchell (Commemorative Air Force – Minnesota Wing).

Several programs at the popular Warbirds of America Warbirds in Review speaker series.

Sixteen B-25s flying in the warbirds air show on Tuesday, July 25, and re-enacting the 1942 Doolittle Raid to start the night air show on Wednesday, July 26
This looks amazing! 16 B-25s would be quite a sight!

A couple of articles and news to pass along!

First, the very rare F-86A will be making it's anticipated debut at Oshkosh. Plans were in place in 2015 and 2016 to bring this rare bird to Oshkosh, but couldn't make it. Hopefully third time is the charm!

Also, plans are being finalized for Blue Angels apperance at Oshkosh. The Blues will be performing their full shows on Friday between 4-5 and Saturday at 5-6. It looks like they will be doing thier site surveys on Thursday at 5 and 2 aircraft will be doing so between 10-11 Friday morning.

Don't care about the Blue Angels at Oshkosh, but can't wait to see the Sabres!

Hope the F-86A makes it and really looking forward to the possibility of a 4-ship Sabre formation this year!

Add two BIG bombers to the list of attending aircraft at Oshkosh. B-52 and B-1B confirmed for static display! Add to that, the 2 B-29s and perhaps over a dozen B-25s, and you have Bombertown USA!

Here is a link to the article:
