Come face to face with aviation history as the 2nd Annual Planes of Fame “Taste of Flight” wine tasting fundraiser, scheduled for Saturday, September 20, offers the rare opportunity to meet and hear surviving Doolittle Raider Tom Griffin, Major Navigator Crew #9, who helped map the entire mission. Additionally, guests will be entered in a drawing to determine who will ride along on a special B-25 flight that same evening. Jonna H. Doolittle Hoppes, granddaughter of General James H. Doolittle and author of Calculated Risk, the Extraordinary Photo by Britt Dietz A Planes of Fame B-25 will fly for “Taste of Flight” on September 20. Life of Jimmy Doolittle—Aviation Pioneer and World War II Hero, will moderate the panel discussion along with her father, John Doolittle. Silent auctions will be conducted throughout the evening with donated flight- and travel-related items including two roundtrip tickets on American Airlines as well as a weekend stay for six at the Mazzocco Winery Guest House in Sonoma with transportation to Hillsboro Airport by private plane, lunch at the winery, and a tour with winemaker, Antoine Favero. The “Taste of Flight” provides an intimate opportunity for guests to get up close and personal with the Planes of Fame Air Museum’s collection of unique aircraft and the pilots who fly them while enjoying wines from over a dozen wineries in the Paso Robles/Templeton and Napa/Sonoma regions. Proceeds from the event will fund restorations of Museum aircraft – current projects including the P-59, VAL, and O-47 – and assist in completing major on site projects such as the Korean War memorial, Hands-On Children’s Learning Center, theater, and library. The history-making Doolittle Raid on April 18, 1942 was the United States’ first air retaliatory raid on Japan following the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. It was the only time that U.S. Army Air Force bombers were launched from a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier on a combat mission. The raid was planned and led by Lieutenant Colonel James “Jimmy” Doolittle with the North American B-25B Mitchell selected to carry out that mission. Tickets for the Taste of Flight are $100 per person. Sponsorships are available for the event which is expected to attract 300 guests.
