Nikon D300 Salad | Wet B-25 The crew of Miss Mitchell checked out the B-25 after a heavy rain shower. Miss Mitchell had come to Grimes Field in Urbana, OH while preparing to attend the 70th Reunion of the Doolittle Raiders at the Air Force Museum. Twenty B-25 aircraft attended the reunion the following day. To learn more about Doolittle Raiders Reunion, see Doolittle Raiders Reunion | a 7 Image Story.
The Back Story During the rain shower, I was in the Champaign Aviation Museum hangar chatting with a WWII B-25 pilot with 65 combat missions in Europe. He had been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. And, he still flew a Beech Bonanza with his son. Anyway, I just happened to walk pasted the hangar door just after the shower ended. Then, just a simple click; didn’t even get wet. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.
