I just wanted to try out my photobucket account. These were taken last year on tour with the Collings Foundation.

I hope these aren't too bad! I'm not the best with a camera.

In photo #2 it looks like someone took a big divit out of the paint
while operating the dzus wrench on that left engine cowl panel.
:shock: :?

I think those are flaws/scratches on the plexi that he was shooting through... you can see others around the photo as well.

I love that B-25... :D

That's clearly a scratched panel and not the plexi.
Oops :shock: :shock: :?
Nice shots and a great B-25 :!:

I'm not sure if that is a scratch on the cowl or not. She does have a blemish here and there so could be. I do know that she is a lot of fun though. One of my favorite aircraft.

No, that's definitely a ding in the paint. And Ryan there are NO scratches in the nose glass it was all carefully and lovingly replaced with new, any defects are a product of your imagination ! :D

I was told that it took them 6 months to put her back together after her running gun battle. Supposedly she never saw combat again and was used as a squadron hack, Tondelayo was finally lost on a beer run.
