Saw this on Aerovintage.com. It seems like a worthwhile candidate for restoration.

Quote:
Coert Munk passes along a website with what appear to be fairly recent photos of B-25J 44-31173 (LV-GXH) at the airport at Santiago del Estero in Argentina. The history and fate of this airplane is obscure, but it seems that it does remain as an intact airplane. It was surplus from U.S. stocks in 1958 and went to Argentina in 1961. It was operated for two decades, though its use is unknown. It has reportedly been parked at the airport since 1983. Here is a photos from that website taken by Livio Mostrini.

Less than 6 months ago, we covered this very same B-25J. For a while it was believed that it had been scrapped but that fortunately was not the case.

It is my understanding that it has been inactive for much longer than 15 years, having been seized in the 1960s for smuggling.

Saludos,

Tulio

Looks like a job for Aero Trader. :D Then again, Ritzman and Scholl are probably well aware of it.
