Was on the Twighlight Zone last night, did you catch it?

Any info on the early B-25 in that episode?

Looked like a good airframe, but it was 1960.

It's still around, but I believe it's dismantled at Aero Traders Facility.

Is this the same one that was used in the movie Sole Survivor??

Actually it was the C model 42-32354 that was in the Twighlight Zone. It is owned by Aero Trader. It is in the picture below.

They also of course have the B model 40-2347 which is a forward and rear fuselage only. It was also a movie prop.

Jack;
The one from "Sole Survivor" was on display for sometime in a "movie set' diorama in Buena Park, CA, but was later scrapped in 1973. Too bad, it could've been a flyer.

"King Nine" was part of Jack Hardwick's collection of airframes and it obviously went to Aero Trader. It may have ended up in a static restoration since, but I've forgotten the specifics.

A lot of great stuff came out of Harwick's place. Stacks and stacks of B-25 parts new in crates. I have a ton of pictures of the stuff somewhere. Not to mention the aircraft.

Taken around '88; you can barely see the nose art:
