The memorial service, held at the National Museum of the United States Air Force April 18, 2017, included two B-25 fly-overs. The first was a typical bomber staggered formation, and included 11 aircraft. The second was the Missing Man formation and honored the 79 members of the original Raiders who have passed. The last living Raider, Lt. Col. Richard Cole, was a participant in the memorial ceremony. (U.S. Air Force photo/Wesley Farnsworth)
