Was watching a documentary on the 2019 "plan" to enter Area 51 that started with some online BS. During the show, they interviewed an Air Force officer in a hangar, assuming that it was in Nevada. Not sure if this was a military hangar or a civilian hangar, although in one shot, there seemed to be uniformed people around the B-25. In the background were an F-86 and a P-35 Seversky. Outside the hangar was a B-25. Just wondering what P-35 this is. Thanks in advance.

If it was a Seversky, then it would have to be the AT-12 Guardsman owned by Planes of Fame. There haven't been any other Seversky products flying in the last 70 years. Okay, maybe a couple of flying boats. Kermit owned two or three and did some trading. I think he has one, the Air FOrce museum and maybe in Sweden there's one. There are no other airframes.

This blog has an overview of the various Seversky fighter/trainers that are still around: https://acesflyinghighthesurvivors.word ... f-success/. I have similar photos of the Swedish example and Kermit's project.

Yes , it's this one , and POF regularly appears in shows like this. The scene isn't in Nevada or Florida , it's Chino.

Re-watched a bit of it yesterday, and it sure looks like the hangars in the background are at Chino. You can see them clearly behind the B-25. Thanks for the answer.
