B-25 Mitchell Doolittle Tokyo Raid 75th Anniversary At The National Museum Of The U.S. Air Force

Doolittle Tokyo Raid 75th Anniversary In Dayton Ohio

The B-25 Mitchell Doolittle Tokyo Raid 75th anniversary reunion happened on April 17, 2017, at the National Museum Of The United States Air Force.  The images below are from the public aircraft display on April 16, 2017.  The Tokyo Doolittle Raiders were American heroes, and these military aircraft honor those brave airmen. I am for hire as an aviation photographer.

These B-25 WWII-era aircraft flew in for a few days for this event and landed at the historic Wright Field. This is part of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. It sits at the southwesternmost corner of the property along Airway Road and Woodman Drive.

For several years I have been part of an elite group of local aviation photographers who get special access. We photograph arrivals and special events at the Air Force Museum. It is amazing to be on the flight line just 100 feet to the south of the runway as historic bombers, fighter jets, and refueling tankers make their way to Dayton. On some occasions, it is the plane’s final flight with the rest of its life spent in Dayton. For others such as the B-25, it is just a quick 2-3 day event for visitors to enjoy the vintage airplanes.
