no the b-25 was not a doolittle raider.  Yes the "type" was used, but not that particular one.


Crewed her when she was still called "Hoosier Honey".

Sittin here in a Hotel in Bossier, LA.  When I get bored I go to Barksdale AFB and park at the end of the airfied and watch B52's and A10's land...

Awesome to look up and see a B52 just a hundred feet overhead, gear out...eardrum shattering.  

Bet if I threw a rock I could ping one...but then again it would be hard to adapt in Leavenworth Fed Pen.

Heard they don't have History Channel..... go figure.

Ok... what info. do you have, that proves that this particular B-25 is not?

Not to be received in a negative way, I’m just curious as to why it wasn’t & what fact you have to prove that it isn’t.

So Drill might know the history of the plane

also I think someone got sidetracked,  article doesnt say "this B-25" was a Dolittle Raider, it think the intention was just to say the B-25 was the bomber used...

hey, just bringing this to the top so everybody in and near Austin remembers they'll be here this afternoon.  

even though the weather is supposed to be crappy I'm still planning on it..
