Here's something that I thought everyone might find interesting, the following is a copy of a brochure from when the museum's B-25 was auctioned at the Coffield Airport Facility in Rockdale, Texas on 15 October 1983:





Here are higher resolution copies of the above:

Very very cool (although the page crashes every time I open it, unless I click and drag Copy?? ...Imgur files don't play well with my computer I guess).
I remember seeing the B-25s in Air Classics' "Warbird Report" in the mid-70s; I'll have to look them up.

Found the Air Classics piece; it's in the April 1974 issue (I added a couple notes to the text):




^^^ Now the CAF's Devil Dog. Note the tail of 44-30010/N9641C just visible on the left edge.


^^^ This one missed the auction; Aero Trader bought it in 1978. The Registry lists it as sold at the 1983 auction, but the auction list only mentions three B-25s (Scott R. please check?).


^^^ Now N898BW Axis Nightmare.

Also note that last item; do any CG-13 parts from Rockdale still exist? Should we start looking for oddly-shaped houseboats?


Many thanks to Scott Thompson for his book B-25 Mitchell in Civil Service from which I got the info.
