Mitchell Madness! Thirteen B-25 Bombers Flying Together! - Thunder Over Michigan 2021

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: https://www.airshowstuff.com/forum/vi...
