that the T-38 made its first flight, and here we are just one week ago with one right here on our warbird ramp! Look carefully at the tail of this bird and you can tell her age if you know what to look for. How old do you think she is?

The Doolittle Raid launched at 0820 on 4/18/42 local which is 1820 EDT 4/17. So remember the crews, come by Warbird Country & say hi to B-25 Panchito, & definitely take a moment to remember frequent SNF guest & Doolittle's co-pilot, Dick Cole, who passed on 4/9/19.
