There are eight interesting B-25 photos on the Latin American Aviation Historical Society forum.

http://www.laahs.com/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah. ... 9335/s-15/

Does anyone know the identity of this aircraft and when and where these photos were taken? Unfortunately, I am not able to read what I assume is Spanish.

Guys, these B-25s have been displayed for many years at a park in Mexico City, and besides exposure to the elements, a great deal of vandalism has hurt them.

The airplanes have been documented in a couple of aviation magazines through the years, but I do not have right now at hand the serial numbers.

Saludos,

Press "1" for English.
Press "2" to disconnect until you have learned to speak English.
