did you hear about the B 25s that were caught in the volcanic ash fall from Mt Vesuvius in 1944?
I thought I'd posted about this some years ago, but nothing popped up when I searched for it
found on http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=ForumsPro&file=viewtopic&t=14428&finish=15&start=0
About everything there is to know about the B25... including where all of the known ones are that fly, are on display, are getting restored
All this is just a small part of the info at http://www.skytamer.com/North_American_B-25D.html
they even wrote that Indonesia was flying B25s until 1979

I bet there was hell to pay for smashing some generals favorite limo!
oh man... this is truly maxing out the paint scheme ability to be fierce! Not just the shark grin, but vampire teeth too! Wow!
Seriously, this took a second... but it's called the flying fish.... because the pilots name is Pike!
Jacksonville Florida, has not had a car wash that has ever matched the cool factor of this photo...
