Video EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2017 Pics & Video

I volunteered at the annual Experimental Aircraft Association annual convention and fly-In and have a TON of footage to share from the event. Rather than posting it in individual threads I will try keep all the posts in 1 common location.

The main tribute to this years event was the 75th anniversary of the Doolittle Raid.

The last member of the raid, Lt. Col. Richard E. Cole at age 101 was in attendance for the event. He did a short interview, took pictures with people and also recently had a book written about his experiences in WWII!

Later that same day 11 Airworthy B-25 Bombers performed in a "Doolittle's Raid" re-enactment that included mock bombing and pyrotechnics. 10 of the planes were staged on the concrete to give the impression of the original 16 B-25's that took off from the Aircraft Carrier USS Hornet on April 18, 1942.

well they told us from the get go that he wouldn't be autographing books just shaking hands. I was one of the very last people to see meet him and after shaking 300+ peoples hands i'm sure he was a little tired and fragile at his age.
