I was fishing on the Big Thompson river yesterday (wednesday) when something high up caught my attention, mainly with its engine noise....looked like it was at about 15,000 feet...probably a B-25 but MAYBE a Lockheed design...had twin tails...the wings looked B-25ish to me but hard to tell...looked like light undersides but darker colors, maybe grey or blue on the rest of the body...DEFINITELY radial engined...maybe headed for Salt Lake or northern California...anyone know of anything headed that way?

B-25 Pacific Prowler is suppose to be heading to Rexburg, ID for a show at the Legacy Flight Museum and then up into Canada.

Hi Mark,
I haven't seen any B-25s... except the Martha Jean that was here in Denver last week.
I have seen these two flying around Littleton Colorado the last couple of days.
I know this is not the Pacific Prowler... but I thought the E2-C looked like a B-25 without my camera...
(could not see the lack of radials until I loaded the photos)
The E2 made quite the noise...

The other one has gone back and forth over the house a few times this week.

Nice shot of the P-2 on the bottom, got some wildfires in CO or I bet that P-2 is heading to CA maybe?
