Can anyone ID B-25 at National WWII Museum

Wed Aug 05, 2009 5:30 pm

Saw some photos of a B-25 being stored in New Orleans warehouse for the National WWII Museum down there. Anyone know the serial or background of the B-25 or is it a composite aircraft? Thanks

I think it said amusement park THEN storage in the Mojave. I'm guessing it is a static from Aero Trader.

Aero traders had one from an amusement park in Brainerd Minesota. I saw it there in 1991, but as I recall it was a glass nose. Here are details of the amusement one,
Details of that aircraft are B-25J-20NC c/n 108-33087 44-29812 (N2854G), ex-TB-25J, ex-TB-25N BD-812, ex-Paul Bunyan Amusement Park, " 327102 Safe Return ", Aero Trader, Ocotillo Wells, CA (S)
Maybe there is more than one from an amusement park?
Here is a link to what the plane looked like in Brainerd before it was moved out. http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=h ... N%26um%3D1

The noses are easily changed and Aero Trader likely has the parts, but I still have nothing factual.

It is 44-29812/N2854G. Some pieces have arrived, the rest by Nov.
