Audio isn't great in this one, we were testing my mom's new camcorder for this one, thinking wind noise reduction killed the audio due to all of the wind

The missed approach shots are killer!

Thank you for posting. Had plans on going this year but work got in way. Growing up these guys where my heros. It's sad that kids today have no clue or care to know what these brave me did for this country during some of her darkest hours. God bless the raiders!

I had the privilege of meeting Gen Doolittle back when I worked at Zamperini Field (Torrance Airport) just a few years before he passed. He and Chuck Yeager were there to promote a restaurant just off the airport proper with a B25 and a B26 (if memory serves). Doolittle was confined to a wheelchair by then, he was greatest from a population of greats.

Chuck Yeager was a lot of fun to talk too.

So here are the last of the photos I still have tons of video, some are currently uploading to youtube now and some I'll do tomorrow.
