On the accident run this morning, but it occurred on 9/30/06....

09/30/2006 2015 ALTON, IL 345TH TB25 I MINR 0 ACFT WHILE TAXIING, STRUCK A PARKED TRUCK, ALTON, IL

Hopefully the B-25 "won the argument" with the truck and
the damage was minimal. Anyone have more info?

Are there any other B-25's in IL other that "Barbie III"?

It's not based in Alton but it still could be. :?

I believe the B-25 he is talking about is "Show Me" owned by the CAF Missouri Wing. It carries the N345TH registration listed in the description.

I was not there but I heard about it from some of the guys from Creve Coeur when they returned from the flyin. Apparently is was a very minor issue, just some slight damage to the tip, sort of a "wing ding".
