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.

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.
