The Yellow Rose should be there if able as she was the only one at the 50th...

Yesterday their website had the event listed as "possible." Today the event listing was completely removed.

16 confirmed according the Champaign Museum site at the top of the thread. The 5 are just the specific ones I know of. One could make educated guesses from which attended the last two reunions in Urbana/Dayton.

That is what I thought...didn't know if something had changed.

Every time I hear about a bunch of B-25's getting together I think of this scene.

Some more publicly announced Mitchell bombers, a couple of PBJs Devil Dog and Semper Fi along with Betty's Dream. As we know Betty's Dream rarely goes anywhere without her fighter escort, fingers crossed.
