Last I saw, it was in sections, being stored at Aero Trader with the rest of their B-25s, awaiting restoration in the future. That was about 3 years ago I believe. I still remember seeing the aircraft at the park when I was really young. I'm glad it could at least be brougt to a climate that is a little better for the airframe, than northern Minnesota. It will be great to see it flying when it does.

Our B-25 "Briefing Time" with the Mid Atlantic Air Museum based in Reading, PA has individual stacks all the way around. It makes a wonderful sound popping and banging. Also very cool to see at night.
