Today's quiz from me is a B-25; I have no details at all. The N-number is obscured but appears to end in Z. Date could be any time in the 1960s. Probably in California.

If you really want to know you need to post this inquiry over on Aero Vintage's web site. They're the B-25 experts....Scott Thompson is the moderator....Tom

Could it be the LSFM '25 Special Delivery?

Looks like it has early cowlings (smooth) on the engines to suggest maybe a B-25C/D. I don't know the history of "Special Delivery". Is she a real PBJ?

Well I know that Special Delivery's first civil registration was N9090Z. And from the pic it loos like it could be 0Z. I dont believe she is a real PBJ. And she may not be depicted as one by next year. :wink:

But the above picture could be Briefing Time as well, her CR was N9456Z. The end of the "N" number could be a 6 or a 0.

You are right, sorry, I didn't realize I started the thread here. Guess I must have hit New Topic when I was reading a modeling post and didn't notice.

Beats me! So far I like your Briefing Time theory. Maybe I should post it on Aero Vintage like Tom suggested.

I was just going off the registry...looking at civil #'s.. Special Delivery and Briefing Time are the only two I saw that it could be.

The guys at Aero Vintage confirm that it is Briefing Time. Good guesswork Trae!
