The 2021 Thunder Over Michigan airshow hosted a massive gathering of North American B25 Mitchell bombers, bringing together 14 of these rare pieces of history. This video combines footage from the Saturday afternoon and Sunday shows, when 13 B25s started in unison, ran their engines up together, then took off for low solo flybys. After the flybys, eight of the B25s joined together for a formation flyover before landing. Unfortunately the 14th B25 (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...
