"Panchito" getting airborne on a wet, grey day at Mid Atlantic Air Museum's 34th Annual WW II Weekend Airshow. The B-25J was delivered to the USAAF on 16 Feb 1945 with s/n 44-30734. It went into storage before being assigned as a pilot trainer at Vance AFB in Nov 1948. It then served as a navigator and bombardier trainer at Connally AFB. The aircraft next went to NY ANG's 102nd Radar Calibration Unit. Modified to a TB-25N in 1955, it last served with the CA ANG before going into storage. The Mitchell was sold into private hands in Dec 1959, subsequently being used as an insect sprayer.
