Greetings all, I am looking for photographs of N96GC taken in 1975. I had two color photographs of this B-25 that were snapped at McKinnon Airport, St. Simons Island, GA in February 1975 and, after getting assurances from "Air Classics" magazine that they would "return them" to me, I sent them to A/C Magazine, and 32 years later, I still haven't gotten my pictures back. Hence I quit buying or subscribing to Air Classics 31 years 6 months ago. I know there are some pictures of this B-25 out there, maybe while it was at Junior Burchinals place in Paris Texas when the pilot was attempting to get type rated. I have seen a photocopy of an 8x10 photograph of 96GC when it was at an airport in south Florida when the feds had of it while it was under investigation. Hope some body can help, or at least rattle O'Leary's cage and get my pictures back for me. I went to the crash site in 1976, and trust me, she was d e s t r o y e d.

Yes, this B-25 was destroyed while on a drug run, smacked a hickory tree with the diameter half the size of a volkswagen with the port engine, disintergrated on impact. Bill Flannigan was piloting the Mitchell.

The Mitchell was seen in February of 75 in florida, then phtographed by GBi in, I believe March of 75, it made 4 trips that I know of to S.A. filmed at Wheelless Airport in either March or April of 75, the "photographer suddenly got amnesia when a question came up about the film...
I still would like to have a picture of the 25
