B-25 on display at the Pacific Aviation Museum

Sat May 25, 2013 1:58 pm

Okay, I would like to pose to anyone in the know, which B-25 airframes were sacrificed to make the Raider display of 40-2261.
I have seen where N2849G (44-30077) is on display as 2261 and I have also read where a few other B-25s were used to complete the airframe on display. So, which is what? pop2

What happened to N9753Z? I understand that she was ate up with the corrosion :axe: thing going on, so where are her remains? back in Chino?

well now, that answers the question now don't tit! thanks :D

But the heart of the question is this...doesn't the "center section" make up the "heart" of the ship? and if so and as such, wouldn't the ship on display as 40-2261 then actually be 44-30090 N9633C from the long defunct Rockdale Flying Service with components of 44-30077-aka N2849G and 44-30627-aka N45HA pop2 I'm axin' :axe:
