B-25S SET TO BUZZ GOLDEN GATE: If you're anywhere near San Francisco
tomorrow, don't miss this one. As many as 16 World War II vintage B-25
bombers are scheduled to buzz the Golden Gate Bridge at approximately 1
p.m. local time. The flyover is part of this week's reunion in honor of
the 24 surviving veterans of the 80 airmen who flew in Lt. Col. Jimmy
Doolittle's surprise bombing raid on Tokyo in 1942. The bombers will
fly in formation from Fresno, up the coast toward San Francisco, and
cross the Golden Gate at about 1,000 feet. The fleet will then fly over
Alameda and back to Fresno to participate in an airshow on Saturday.
