I heard a rumor that Apache Princess may be attending. It's just a rumor. I have nothing to back that up at this time.

Others that weren't listed that are regular fliers are "Killer B", "Hot Gen" and maybe "Martha Jean".

It's too bad Paul Allen will not bring his immaculate B-25J out for the reunion...
In the back of my mind, I am hoping that he will surprise us all, and Buster will show up in Urbana, but I know that it will not happen.

Interesting to see "Russian Ta Get Ya" on the list, that being the Rod Lewis B-25 - is it already that close to flying again? (It would be wonderful news, if that were the case)

I thought I remember reading somewhere it was expected to be in Chino undergoing repairs for a year or moe.

I dont recognize the name "Georgies Gal" Who owns that one?

It used to be Martha Jean and "The Devil Made Me Do It" before that.

I'm not sure who currently owns it though.

?Regarding participating B-25's at the 70th Anniversary Reunion of the Doolittle Raiders:
There is a lot of speculation running wild about who will and who will not be at the Raiders 70th Reunion. I am the coordinator of the event. The list of confirmed participants, pending fund raising efforts, is as follows below.
Pacific Prowler, Briefing Time, Wild Cargo, Georgies Gal (former Martha Jean) will be unable to attend due to individual issues. I have heard nothing about Apache Princess attending so any speculation about that is only speculation and that does no one any good.

1 Axis Nightmare
2 Barbie III
3 Bettys Dream
4 Champaign Gal
5 Devil Dog
6 Executive Sweet
7 Grumpy
8 Killer B
9 Lady Luck
10 Maid in the Shade
11 Miss Hap
12 Miss Mitchell
13 Old Glory
14 Pacific Princess
15 Panchito
16 Russiantagetya
17 Show Me
18 Special Delivery
19 Take off Time
20 Tondelayo
21 Yankee Warrior
22 Yellow Rose

I just seen over on the topic " What airplane did you see flying today ?" (Page 113) - that someone saw Rod Lewis's B-25 do a couple flights on tuesday out at Chino... Very cool that she's up and going again... Mike

No doubt! Considering the stories about how it was crunched, that's a seriously quick turnaround to get her back up again. Right now I'm planning on driving up to Urbana on the 15th or 16th, as my mom lives 3 miles from the airport... hope to meet some of you guys there!

Maybe BDK was at his secret bunker and was able to see her fly. I know he will chime in...
