| On August 3rd and 4th, 2002 the Yankee
Air Museum celebrated their 4th annual Aircraft Display, Salute to Freedom. The show
highlighted 70 plus years of aviation history, reliving the thrill of bombers and fighters
from WWII and Korea to the air power that protects our skies today. Mike Luther, and the
rest of the Yankee Air Force did another superb job this year, and the crowds showed their
appreciation with what was probably the greatest attendance figures yet. Although the
scheduled symposium speakers were 4 members of the Doolittle Raiders, illnesses prevented
them from attending. However, Mike and his team were not caught off guard, and
managed to restructure the show with 2 members of the "Flying Tigers" and 2 more from the
"Black Sheep" squadron. Be sure not to miss this year's show, at the YAF
Museum, Willow Run Airport, Belleville, MI. |
