Ex 42-14886

The second B-25H built, 43-4106 spent WWII in the USA doing various test programs. Sold surplus in 1947, I have found conflicting information on it's history post-war so far, but it did get a B-25J glass nose installed. A 10 year restoration began in 1981 that restored the unique B-25H cannon nose and it was painted as 43-4380 "Barbie III" flown by Flying Tigers veteran Lt. Col R.T. Smith in Burma.

This early company aircraft, restored with major upgrades in 2006, has proven very popular with local customers.

Originally 44-74977, this P-51 went on the civil registry as N5488V in 1960 and was used for fire tanker support in Alaska. Damaged in gear up landing in June 1966, the Mustang was repaired but suffered another landing accident in 1999. Rebuilt again and flown as N251CS "Charlotte's Chariot II" in 2010.

This B-25 was 44-30734 in Air Force service until 1959. Sold on the civil market as N9079Z, the B-25 flew under Forest Service contract until 1962. Stored the next four years then passing through several owners and museums, the warbird is presently with the Delaware Aviation Museum, Georgetown, DE.

Operational with the US Air Force between March 1945 and March 1956, Doc was placed at the China Lake Weapons Range as a target from 1956. Moved in 1998 to the United States Aviation Museum, Inyokern, CA that was established by Mr. Tony Mazzolini to save the B-29, Boeing stepped in to help with restoration in 2000. The bomber was moved to Wichita, KS where it has been rebuilt to like new condition.
