(BLARRRRTTTTTsshhhh) ow.

According to an informed source here on WIX that currently owns a B Two Five the quickest way to get murdered is to head down to Mexico City and try and get one of those out of there.

I reckon it all depends on how you go about it!

Maybe they should've gone for bigger game!

Ryan, you are the man to go about it. San Antone would be the perfect HQ for operation Bird Flap. Get to it and don't let us see you until you have at least three of them sitting on the runway in Boulder.

There was a VERY shady guy in town that used to be at Stinson (99th St. Inc.) who had the B-25 that is now Pacific Prowler. I had gone there to take detail shots of the B-25 and found myself learning some interesting things about south-of-the-border recovery operations involving stolen aircraft, insurance, and the corrupt Mexican government. They claimed that there were B-25s to be had if one had the money. Seemed pretty confident they could get me one if I could come up with enough $$$.

Name is John Lister.

Oh, and if I could come up with three they wouldn't be going to Boulder. I'd probably get them to Aero Trader somehow and have them restore the B-25B for me and we'd put it on the circuit as a sister ship to the Doolittle Raiders (It's three serials off from Doolittle's bird).

If it happens, Ryan, give me a call! I call Crew Chief & or Pilot!(need multi time first & a rating... ASEL currently) I can also supply ALL the original radio gear (Be more fun to have it in a 25 than its current static position) NOT SELLING IT THO!

Robbie

John Lister used to have a hangar at Stinson, full of interesting stuff.

I met him once, and he was of course, leery of letting me take photos, so I did not.

But he told me an interesting story about a Howard DGA that he had found in what used to be an airport in Mexico, and that he managed to bring back to the USA.

Then again, I met a guy at Boerne Stage, who told me an horror story about the T-28s that he had already bought in Mexico, just to find out when the airplanes arrived in Texas, that he had been cheated and given burned or damaged airframes. I regret that I don't remember this gentleman's name, but his story rang true, when corroborated with other similar stories that I have heard through the years.

It probably has a lot to do, with the people you know down there...

Saludos,


Tulio

GOOD MORNING, WELCOME TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Press "1" for English.
Press "2" to disconnect until you have learned to speak English.

Sooooo, how am I going to know to press 1 or 2, if I do not speak English????

His name is Ober

Well I hope you are able to get them out but since it would cost about 1.5 mil to restore the B-25B to airworthy condition (per Aero Trader) and the 3 Mexico airframes are maybe worth 400-500K as a package you are going to need to kick in some big bucks.

Best of luck and keep checking your six while you are down there.

Hey, I don't really intend to do anything! At least not right now. And I for sure wasn't going to do it with that particular group.
