SPONSOR “GRUMPY” « Grumpy Returns

B-25D “Grumpy” is airworthy again and ready for a new mission! This historic Mitchell bomber will fly the route used by Bomber Command to relocate WWII lend-lease bombers to the United Kingdom. To honor all the air crews that perished while moving bombers to the European Theater, Grumpy’s flight crew, led by owner John T. Sessions and fellow pilots Lee Proudfoot and John Romain, will arrive in the United States carrying a special commission Royal Air Force Pooley sword. The sword will be presented at a ceremony in Washington, DC, on October 28, 2009. Read on—and keep checking back– for the real-time story of this WW II veteran aircraft’s journey.
