Located at the Milestones of Flight Museum, this ex-Hughes B-25C (N3968C) has been cleaned up and received new paint. Apparently this was done last year some time but it looks much better. The wing panels are still off (are they even available?). This airplane was last flown in the mid-70s when Fish Salmon ferried it up from the Hughes Airport at Culver City. The Hughes A-20 was transferred to the museum at the same time but it went by truck.

Taken from the runup area at RWY 24.

It would be great to see a few more early models of B-25s take to the air. What direction did the A-20 go? was the the one the CAF had or the one for sale? Maybe a different all together?

The A-20 (43-22197, N34920) that was at Lancaster is now owned by Kermit Weeks and is in storage at Ocotillo Wells at the Aero Trader facility. From what I understand, the A-20 was traded for hangar construction at the museum.

I know I've posted it before, but...



Hughes Airport, 1965

Are there any better photos available from when Howard Hughes had it?

Hi all,
Can anyone identify the BT-13 type sitting between the B-25 and the A-20 ?
