Yes this one is located in Ashland, NE just off of Interstate 80. I'm liking you know my language 😁 Here I'll leave you the new USSTRATCOMM building built in 2019.
I see every morning driving into work :)
The Dolittle Raiders Mission with the B-25 were to launch and bomb and try to land somewhere in China. Let's say probably all had rough landings and had to bail out of there aircraft. There was not enough fuel to bomb and return to the aircraft carrier. I think all but 1 of the 16 aircraft were destroyed. Quite a few survived and rejoined American forces. There were a group that were captured by Japanese forces. There's many movies on this raid but the most recent is Pearl Harbor (2001). If you like Ben Affleck he's plays Lt Cole which was Lt Col Dolittle's co-pilot. Interesting fact about 8-9 years ago(maybe longer, guessing lol) I met the last four living Dolittle raiders. Sadly the last one was put to rest a few years ago. I'll leave you with this account of one of the co-pilots (taken at museum)
Oh yes, the Black Bird was my favorite of all. Just something super fast and stealthy looking. I did write an article exclusively about the museum itself. Of course there's really too much to tell everything. Here's the link in case you want to see more: https://ecency.com/hive-194913/@coolmidwestguy/strategic-air-command-and-aerospace-museum
Thank you so much for your appreciation and detailed comment. Until next time :)
