The fly-in is Friday. Static display of the Mitchel's on Saturday. Autograph session, lecture, movie "30 Seconds Over Tokyo", dinner with the pilots (sold out) on Saturday. Sunday 1-2pm memorial service and another fly over.

I'm going to try and make the memorial and flyover on Sunday. Hope I don't forget the camera. :JEEPIN:

I just watched approximately 20 B25's fly over at low altitude. Awesome.

I arrived at the AF Museum at 12:55 just in time to watch a fly over of the B25's. Boy was that place packed! My dad had some good stories to tell from the year he spent as a crew chief on those things. (He later went on the fly the P51 and then F86 in Korea). Neat to see so many flying together. Awesome sound. 8)
