EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2019: Airshows - Salute to Dick Cole, the Last Doolittle Raider

The Aero Experience coverage of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2019, sponsored by Elite Aviation, continues with another pictorial celebrating the North American B-25 Mitchell bomber. Here we feature the Salute to Dick Cole, the last living Doolittle Raider who passed away April 9, with the "Missing Man" formation performed by four Mitchell bomber crews. Following the formation, the B-25s Panchito, Barbie III, Berlin Express and Devil Dog made several passes in front of the crowd line before landing. This marks the end of an era for the Doolittle Raiders, but continues the work of the EAA, Commemorative Air Force, other organizations and individuals who use their warbirds to keep our history alive.
