Is there anyone here from the Lone Star state who might have a color photo of B-25 N9865C when she flew as "Love Machine"? She was owned by a Jim Hazlitt of Galveston in the 70s, and flew with CAF titles on the rear fuselage. I have a poor b/w photo of it and would really like to see it in colors.

TJ, I haven't figured out how to post photos to this board yet, however have send two shots direct to you. Feel free to post on board if you want. Cheers, John

Hmmm.... I thought you were talking about the B-25 that appeared in an issue of Penthouse or Hustler about 25 years ago.

Never heard about this one. Do you know which issue this would be. For information purposes of course...

P. S. Will post Johns photos when I get back home again!

I definitely remember a Penthouse in the late 80s that had one of the RAAF-painted Sea Furies as a "backdrop" (maybe Getchell's or Lloyd Hamilton's).

Courtesy of John, here are the two photos of N9865C.

N9865C in San Marcos, TX 9-73

Is there anyone on this forum that is from the Galveston area, and might know about the owner? His name was Jim Hazlitt, came from Galveston, was involved with the CAF and owned the 25 in the 70s!
