69th Doolittle Reunion

From the March 2nd Omaha (Ne) World Herald.

Five surviving members of the 60 man group called Doolittle's Raiders are scheduled to be in Lincoln, Nebraska April 14-17th for the 69th anniversary of the April 18, 1942 attack that shocked Japan and helped US morale.

A flyover by two restored B-25 bombers is planned and events will take place in Lincoln and at the Strategic Air and Space Museum in Ashland, Neberaska.

Co-pilots Dick Cole and Robert Hite, navigator Tom Griffin, and engineers Ed Saylor and Dave Thatcher have signed up to attend.

I'd sure like to be there, but gas prices are likely going to keep me from doing so.
