This WWII B-25 Mitchell Medium Bomber is no hangar queen. It is fully airworthy and is flown several times a year to and at airshows around the country. The restoration is excellent and it's easy to see that a lot of time and care has been put into this B-25.

This particular B-25 saw action in the Mediterranean and shares partial credit for the sinking of the Italian cruiser Taranto on September 23, 1944.
