44-86844 B-25J N3453G Status? Bueller?...Bueller??

Anyone have any further on this airframe 44-86844 B-25J N3453G since she was taken off the pole in Panama City, Destin, or Ft Walton Beach where-ever?

Judging from the address on the FAA registration I would say Gerry Yagen owns it now. I knowthey have one flying. I took off in the L 4 right after it at Suffolk last summer but not sure they are one in the same.

Found this pic of it in Dustin. Poor ol bird. I hope it will see better days.

Thanks RB, This photo is prior to it being hoisted onto the pole it was stuck on, it lost a vertical stablizer during a hurricane, I know she was taken down, and disassembled. After that I don't know where the package went, Appreciate your reply

I did a work-up on the history of this Mitchell...

It would be great to have a photo or two uploaded of the B-25 displayed in it's yellow glory at the water park. If anyone can contribute photos please go to...

According to information as posted in my August 2014 B-25 News page, this airframe has long been mis-identified and is actually TB-25K 44-30497. The forward fuselage is being incorporated into the Sandbar Mitchell restoration. see also the June 2014 B-25 News update.
