Warbird Information Exchange

I know this event has been mentioned here before but here is the info from the Natl Museum of the USAF just released on their website 3 days ago http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/news/s ... =123265550

Larry Kelly was on Warbird Radio today with more details. The B-25s will rally in Urbana the weekend prior just like they did in 2010. Monday will be formation practice and media flights at Urbana. Tuesday the planes will fly to the museum. Wednesday the planes will launch and flyover as two monuments are dedicated at the museum.

I had a blast at the 2010 reunion and could only stay for half of it. I plan to be there for the whole 9 yards this time.

I didn't realize the reunion would take place during the week until you mentioned it. 2010 was so nice since it fell on a weekend and didn't result in taking any time off of work. I don't think it will be quite as busy or well attended by the public this time around.

The date of the actual raid was April 18, 1942. The Raiders, if not mistaken, always hold their reunions to coincide with that date and hold their memorial service on April 18th. I don't think that weekends are a factor.
