The 2021 Thunder Over Michigan airshow hosted a massive gathering of North American B-25 Mitchell bombers, bringing together 14 of these rare pieces of history. This video combines footage from the Saturday afternoon and Sunday shows, when 13 B-25s started in unison, ran their engines up together, then took off for low solo flybys. After the flybys, eight of the B-25s joined together for a formation flyover before landing. Unfortunately the 14th B-25 (Georgia Mae) had a mechanical issue after the Saturday morning show and remained grounded for the rest of the weekend.
The airshow is held annually at Willow Run airport near Detroit, Michigan as a fundraiser for the Yankee Air Museum. The 2021 show also hosted both the US Navy Blue Angels and the USAF Thunderbirds at the same event! Find out more and see photos from the show in our forums: www.airshowstuff.com/forum/vi...

Love to hear a B-25 start up. My Dad was shot down in 1944 while on a bomb run over northern Italy. Mia, pow and still came home after the war. I was a few months old when he was shot down.

@amitmohindra3124 2 года назад

We were litterlly here at this air show it was amazing

@stephenjablonsky1941 Год назад

You can well imagine how surprised the Japanese were when Doolittle and his B-25s showed over Tokyo. The sight and sound is mighty impressive.

@sfeddie1 2 месяца назад

It’s really amazing to see that this many B-25’s in one place. What a beautiful plane. My dad was an armorer/tail gunner in B-25’s stationed in Sardinia and Corsica as part of the 437th squadron, 319th group, 12th Air Force, in 1944. He was all of 19 years old. When I was a kid he used to tell me of his experiences over there. I fell in love with the 25’s and built many plastic kits of them during my youth. One time in the early ‘70’s he attended an air show at Half Moon Bay, CA and there was a B-25 there. He got to talking to the pilot and the pilot offered him a ride. He was very excited to go. Later, he told me that taxiing and revving up for take off with the whole plane shaking, brought back all of the nervous feelings he had going on missions during the war. But all in all he really enjoyed the ride. I wish I could have gone up with him.

Ahh! The intoxicating sound of big radial engines and propellors thrashing the air. All in the form of the best medium bomber produced during WWII. The B-25 Mitchell. Thanks Air Show Stuff.

I love your channel, it reminds me of when my dad was alive and we would map out what air shows we wanted to see. 1970's Southern California had some great ones! Thanks for posting so many great vids.

Wish we could have seen them! Thank you for watching!

@SOCALAVIATION2K 2 года назад

Southern California definitely has lots of cool airshows

@mitchlondon8316 2 года назад

Seeing all those Mitchells is inspiring! Such a well balanced design. Everything about a B-25 looks right. Dutch really knew how to design planes. N.A. was by far one of the greatest AV companies. Just imagine taking one of those off the deck of the Hornet. Too bad there aren't any C-Ds. The early versions were my favorites. Salute to Col. Doolittle and crews.

@richuar 2 года назад

Rosie’s Reply the first B25 in this video with the yellow cowling rings is a D model so there was at least one early bird there!

@goldenmanuever1176 2 года назад

I was in the right hand pocket of the show. One of the best I've ever been to. Period. To see an F-16 and EA-18 so fast and so close was almost unreal.

@keerder1 12 дней назад

The sound of those engines, goosebumps.🤘

@Cruiserweight190 2 года назад

My father was a radio gunner with the Marines VMB-443 in the south pacific the Marine Corps variant does its flyby @ 10:41 what a blessing these crews are to keep these great planes looking and flying just like they were in the 1940s THANK YOU TO YOU ALL!!!

@plmn93 5 месяцев назад

I didn't even realize there were that many still flying, to see them all together is incredible. Thanks so much for posting this!

Thank you for posting this. I live about 1.5 miles from Willow Run airport. The Thunder Over Michigan show was this past weekend 8-7-21 and 8-8-21. We went on Sunday all day. I really hope you post some more footage from the show. Thanks for having an awesome channel. 👍🏻❤️🦅🇺🇸

We often see the "Devil Dog" around Lake Austin and Lake Travis here in Austin, but today we saw the "Yellow Rose" do a few passes today while we were out boating, would love to see the two of them fly together one day!

@71superbee39 2 года назад

There's no mistaking the raspy, throaty rumble of the B-25 ..

@doch.8039 2 года назад

The one at 10:52 is the only example of a true PBJ (Marine variant of the Mitchell) left flying in the world.

@WarbirdSquirrel 2 года назад

Yessir! USN BuNo. 35857, the only one left! She flew 20 hours total to get to the show and back from Southern California

@Carstuff111 2 года назад

The B-25 is a sexy plane. With or without paint, those lines.... those engines.....North American really did know how to make some beautiful machines. Edit... Oh.. man, those poor F-18s....I feel bad for the ground crew, because I know how picky the Blue Angels are about keeping their machines clean.... Oh well, the beautiful old beasts deserved their day to shine together :)

@thomast8539 Год назад

WW2 aircraft like the B 25 just have the best styling. Know they were built to conduct warfare, but they look so good from hangar to flight.

@kennethcole1886 2 года назад

My god how glorious/terrifying the sound of the formations were. Just imagine 100s of these doing a bombing run with the escort fighters. Would have been mice to hve these 13 plus 4-5 fighters to simulate what it would have been like during the war time. But this is a nice glimpse to have a better understanding of the terror of these aircraft.
