As the link that accompanies the video states:
B-25J 'Pacific Princess' and crew participates in the largest gathering of B-25's since WWII for the 68th Doolittle Raiders Reunion held April 17th & 18th, 2010 at USAF Museum, Wright Field Dayton OH. 17 B-25's formed up for a fly-over the Doolittle Memorial ceremony. 8 Doolittle Raiders of the original 79 remain, 4 were able to attend the 2010 event. Air to Air shots filmed from the tailgunner seat of 'Pacific Princess', ship # 2 in the 17 ship formation by VictoryGirl.comSimply breathtaking - not too many of these left...
That is all.

That would have been awesome to see. My father and I attend a WWII Warbird airshow down in Reading, PA every year - they never have more than a couple B-25s. It's pretty impressive to hear one or two flying by, I can't imagine 17.
There's something special about a plane that could have 14 .50 caliber machine guns pointing in one direction (and another four protecting the flanks and tail...). It has always been my favorite WWII Bomber.
