It was 7:00am, just after sunrise, when Raider One launched on runway two zero at Grimes Field (I74). A late-comer in a rented 172 insisted on landing and the flight obliged as they lined up in position for take-off. Seventeen aircraft were headed to Wright Field at the Air Force Museum to provide a static display this Saturday in conjunction
with the Doolittle reunion celebration. Sunday at 10:00am a fly-over at the museum is planned as a memorial service begins.
Here is Raider Fifteen, "Yellow Rose" getting the launch signal.
Raider Sixteen, "Devil Dog", and Raider Seventeen wait their turn.
