B-25 44-30010 In storage at Tri-State Aviation

[Warbirdnerd]

Here is a B-25 many of you may not have seen before.
N9641C is in storage in Wahpeton for the Fargo Air Museum.
The story of Gerry bringing her in from Texas during a snowstorm is a classic...
Scott if you want them for the registry they are all yours.

And here is one of the office...

The one and only time I met Gerry, I think 1989, was when I visited his shop with a friend who knew him. I climbed into the cockpit with Gerry as he told me that story with a chuckle and grin.

He came in this huge snow storm, flying less than 1000 AGL. All scary enough until you look at the dash that was nearly bare with the exception of two oil pressure gages, altimeter, compass, and I think, fuel gages. My recollection is somewhat coudy but a photo of the dash would relate the condition. I'm sure nothing has changed since he landed.

Gerry then showed me around his shop and was a most cordial and enjoyable man. I wish I had known him better.

Wow! How's that for timing? Must have submitted at the same time, but my story holds.

Thanks Steve, that is pretty much the same way he told me about that trip. I'll see if Mark knows if the cockpit has changed any since it came in.
Gerry was always very generous with his time and loved showing people around the shop and storage hanger.

What's the intention with this plane?

What's the intention with this plane?

I believe it belongs to the Fargo Air Museum. They have the tail feathers off for restoration. It will eventually be on display there.
Maybe when we finish the RedTail we see if they would like a hand with her...

what are the missing instruments? Probably something important, I'd imagine.
