This airplane was mentioned in the Bendix turret thread as "the other" B-25 recovered from a SC lake ... it is not the well documented recovery that is now in Birmingham, AL. I was fortunate enough to attend the Doolittle Raiders' 60th Anniversary in Columbia, SC (April 2002) and I shot these photos of her sitting on the ramp.

Looks great! How's the interior? Are those landing gear braces for towing or are they needed to keep it together?
