And maybe a pic of the PT-23 too!!!!

I don't know for sure if this is the PT referenced above (as it is actually a PT-26), but I think it is the one.

A shame, as I know what is probably happening to that center section.

You'll get no argument from me there Slinky.... same with the B-25.

Let's hope the owner is able to rectify their situations soon.

The PT in question is a PT-26. Before either the PT or B-25 is attempted to be bought and saved, please do a very in depth title search. Having been around the Norfolk warbird scene for over 13 years, there can be books written on the rumors, lies and speculation on the ownership of these two birds. Buyer beware is the best that I can say.

Chapter XI, as she was known from 1977-1994, was owned by the "25th Bomber Group". principle owners at the time of sale were Captian Francis "Robbie" Robinson, Mark Myer and Dale Kresbach. Restored from the camera ship of the movie Battle of Brittan.

I remember that airplane in the late 70's it flew as "chapter XI". I would see it at FT Lauderdale executive airport all the time. I had heard that a group of Piedmont Pilots owned it. I'm not aware of it's situation, It would make a good project.
