What a sight it will be… 25-40 DC-3/C-47 in formation
January 5, 2010 7:00 am
AirVenture 2010 will be the location to be for DC-3/C-47 fans. An organization called The Last Time, has organized a mass flight of Douglas DC-3/C-47 aircraft to celebrate the types 75th anniversary. They have made room for up to 40 aircraft to join the flight. There initial target was 25 but allowances must be made for circumstances beyond the control of the organizers and so an additional 15 slots were opened up to allow for the inevitable reduction of attendance that happens when your dealing with such venerable aircraft.

National Museum of the U.S. Air Force11/16/2009 - DAYTON, Ohio — The Doolittle Tokyo Raiders are in the final stages of planning their 68th reunion at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, April 16-18.
The reunion will include a free public autograph session, educational event and memorial service at the museum, as well as a dinner (for a charge). In addition, a free public concert honoring the Raiders will take place at Wright State University’s Nutter Center.
Of the nine living Doolittle Tokyo Raiders, five are currently able to travel and plan to be on-hand for the reunion events.
As a possible special tribute to the Raiders during the reunion, the Doolittle Tokyo Raiders Association, Inc. is hoping to secure enough sponsorship funding to fly in and land 25 B-25 Mitchell Bombers on the runway behind the museum. If their efforts are successful, this aviation event would be the largest gathering of B-25s since WWII.
