That B-25, which is owned by Trent Latshaw, has been undergoing extensive long-term restoration at Aero Trader since around 2013. I just recently saw a glimpse of it in a photo taken at Aero Trader last month, and the aircraft is looking just about completed - the aircraft is now fully assembled again, engines installed, and the exterior primered, ready for final paint. During the past 12-year restoration, the aircraft was taken apart down to its individual assemblies (wings off, nacelles off, tail off, etc.). The modifications that Tallichet had done to make it look like a B-model were also undone, with the J-model waist positions and top turret put back into it again.
I expect we'll see it and the ex-Howard Hughes B-25C flying in 2026.
