At Airventure I had a conversation with one of the gentlemen who is involved in coordinating the next, and possibly the last, Doolittle Raiders reunion in April, 2012 at the National Museum of the United States Air Force.
The 5 surviving members of the original flight crews are planning to participate.

for the first time in seventy years, Chinese survivors or members of their families who helped save the Raiders will travel to the United States and be special guests at the reunion. Surviving sailors and officers of the USS Hornet, the aircraft carrier that sailed them to their take off point, will also be present.
The organizers hope to raise enough funds from sponsors to bring 25 Mitchells to the event.
