I saw a thread on a UK based forum and thought I'd put a link to it up here for WIX'ers to have a try at. One very anonymous B25 pictured somehwere in NY state in the 1970's or early 80's...

That was in Patterson, NY, at a surplus store known as "2 Guys from Patterson".
That B-25 was recovered from New Jersey and the cockpit was burned out. Center section and bomb bay doors were good. When a friend of the late Harry Doan dumped his ex-Bolivan B-25 (now known as "Super Rabbit") in a Florida swamp, Harry bought this aircraft just for the bomb bay doors to repair the damaged B-25. The remains of the ship were sold at the auction after Harry's death. Not sure where the remainder ended up.
I don't know the whereabouts of the H-34.

I beleive that is PBJ-1J Bu # 35876. I think the remains were with Tom Reilly at some point.

A too rare sight is the 1971-75 Chargers. Not a ton of them around. Also intersting is that Cougar in the picture. A rare and underrated car. The Cougars were actually nicer than the Mustangs, but everyone still wanted the Mustangs. You got more bang for your buck with the Cougar.

That's because 71 and up Chargers AND Mustangs were hideous. :lol:

Just think of them in the same terms as something like an F-104 or F-105. Lots of power, lots of fun, but it is going to take a bit of time to turn or slow down. :wink:

I noticed the Cougar and Charger right away too. (I'm so hurt, no love for the 71-73 Mustangs, my dad has a 71 Boss 351) :lol:

Back in the 70's when I began searching for Surviving B-25's I was put in contact with Bob Haney, who was also searching for surviving Mitchells. I believe it was Bob that told me that this subject aircraft was made up of two B-25 aircraft, being 45-8882 N32T and 44-31104 a PBJ N39E
