Many thanks to Jean-Claude for sharing

You do not have so much money to run a Museum ?
You have dedicated highly motivated volunteers ? 
You have aircraft to show ? 
You want to share the passion for aviation ?
You want to have the public supporting your efforts and teenagers to be aviation minded ?
This is not so complicated, just follows successfull stories and stop to hope someone else will do it for us.

[Vintage_and_Warbirds_Pictures] April 18, 1942 Doolittle Raid

Forwarded message - From: Steve Link 

 

This day in Pacific aviation history (April 18, 1942): a turning point in WWII, one of the most famous air raids in history, and a direct response to the Attack on Pearl Harbor, today marks the 72nd anniversary of the Doolittle Raid. Devised and led by Lt Col Jimmy Doolittle, 16 modified North American B-25B Mitchell bombers took off from the USS Hornet on this "extremely hazardous" mission.

See a Doolittle Raider's personal account here, very good account of the training and mission:
