The flights will be dedicated to veterans and active military personnel. The first flight will be at 11 a.m. and the second — The Flight of the Flags — at 1 p.m. The Flight of the Flags will be loaded with flags from deceased veterans, and there will be a 21-gun salute by Port Clinton’s Homer D.

The North American B-25 Mitchell is a medium bomber that was introduced in 1941 and named in honor of Major General William “Billy” Mitchell, a pioneer of U.S. military aviation. The B-25’s most famous exploit was the Doolittle Raid of April 1942.

Georgie’s Gal is a B-25J, which is highlighted by the “bombardier’s nose” allowing for the installation of a bombsight. Nearly 10,000 of the twin-engined B-25’s were manufactured and about 45 are still airworthy.
