If you see a World War II-era B25 Bomber flying over Anderson, wave.
The B25 Mitchell bomber is scheduled to stop in Anderson Friday, and depart Saturday morning. Exact arrival and departure times are unknown. The aircraft will be parked on the ramp near the terminal building at the Anderson County Airport.
The North American B-25H Mitchell is one of the most well-known bombers from World War II. Made famous in the Doolittle Raid on Japan; the first retaliatory strike after the U.S. entered WWII, the B-25 became a symbol of American airpower during the war.
Today, the B-25 is a beloved warbird, with only approximately 25 preserved in flying condition. The B-25H "Barbie III" owned and operated by History Flight, Inc. is the last H-model B-25 flying in the world and is the only one equipped with the unique 75mm cannon in the nose for ground attack purposes.
