13 B-25s participating in the 75th anniversary of the Doolittle raid took off from Urbana, Ohio and flew to the USAF Museum in Dayton today.  My wife, daughter and I went to watch them take off.  I focused a camera where the bombers switched from the taxiway to the runway.  Here are the videos.
They takeoff roughly one every two minutes… So the videos are not action packed.  But if you enjoy seeing, and hearing the sound of WWII airplanes, here are the links.

Excellent video. B-25's are by far my favorite American bomber of the war. Maybe my second favorite overall only surpassed by the graceful He-111.

I have some footage of the takeoffs from a hand held camera, but it is a little shaky and out of focus. I can post it if anyone cares.
