Anyone have any further on this airframe 44-86844 B-25J N3453G since she was taken off the pole in Panama City, Destin, or Ft Walton Beach where-ever?

Judging from the address on the FAA registration I would say Gerry Yagen owns it now. I knowthey have one flying. I took off in the L 4 right after it at Suffolk last summer but not sure they are one in the same.

Found this pic of it in Dustin. Poor ol bird. I hope it will see better days.

Thanks RB, This photo is prior to it being hoisted onto the pole it was stuck on, it lost a vertical stablizer during a hurricane, I know she was taken down, and disassembled. After that I don't know where the package went, Appreciate your reply

I did a work-up on the history of this Mitchell...
ImageAerial Visuals - Airframe Dossier - North American TB-25N Mitchell, s/n 44-86844 USAAF, c/n 108-47598, c/r N3453G

It would be great to have a photo or two uploaded of the B-25 displayed in it's yellow glory at the water park. If anyone can contribute photos please go to...

...actually any photos during it's history would be appreciated.

Mike

According to information as posted in my August 2014 B-25 News page, this airframe has long been mis-identified and is actually TB-25K 44-30497. The forward fuselage is being incorporated into the Sandbar Mitchell restoration. see also the June 2014 B-25 News update.
