"2 Guys from Patterson" B-25

Sun Jan 28, 2007 12:49 am

I though some of you might enjoy these pics of a B-25J that served as a billboard for a military surplus shop call "2 Guys from Patterson". The B-25 was dismantled in NJ and trucked up to Patterson, NY for display at the store.

The photos were taken in January of 1981 and the aircraft was eventually bought by Harry Doan just for the bombay doors to replace the ones damaged when his other B-25 bellied in to the swamp in Florida back in 1988.
(I think that one is now "Super Rabbit") I don't know where the remaining portions of the "2 Guys" B-25 went after the Doan auction, but I believe the nose was gutted and not in great shape.
Anybody know where the rest of this bird lies?

This was N39E patched up with some pieces of N32T; looks like the cockpit was damaged by fire as mentioned in "Warbird Report". Here's the Registry link:
