Always liked the early model Billys, with the top turret aft of the wings. Is this the only flyer with the turret aft?

As usual I am looking for a location. 
The website did not reveal much. Can the public visit the collection now even if in a temporary home? If so where exactly are they located? Here is a map to work with...

Check the Yankee Air Museum. http://www.yankeeairmuseum.org/historic-aircraft.html 
Hope to see the rare B in storage brought back to flying one day at Aero Trader. *HINT*HINT* FHC....
Oooooo! and lets not forget that white and red B-25C that was once owned by Hughes! BTW, whats up with this aircraft? Anything going on with it?

Id love to see that B model restored to either flying or static. If it is a flyer, do it up as the Ruptured Duck

OMG! I agree with you Chris?!?!
Well, at least the (flyable) Ruptured Duck part anyways. 
And then change the markings to a different Radiers Mitchell every 2 years!

Ha Ha it was a matter of time. I have no beef with this thing being restored to fly, just so it is in a good home. I like the idea of markings change as it wouldn't be that hard with the Doolittle schemes, just minor changes.

Ok, I just have to ask - and this is not intended in any sort of mean way - where have you heard of a B-25 being called a "Billy"?
There's only ONE source I know of where I've read that and I personally don't consider it credible. Anyone else hear of B-25's being called that during the war?

I've heard them called "Billy Mitchells," but the "Billy" nickname is new to me.
I've seen "Yankee Warrior" countless times, and she's gorgeous. Especially since the put the turret and "bomber" nose on her.
Personally, I'd like to see her repainted in her original combat colors, but I'm not gonna get uptight about it.
