Jack,

I flipped the photo horizontally and the first and second of the last three digits may be 66. With that I went to Scott Thopson's, B-25 Mitchell in Civil Service and the only one that fit was N3566G, Serial Number unknown. I also could not find a listing for it under the ownership database. Truly a mystery ship.

I remember back in the 60s my Dad taking me to Flying Cloud to look at an O-47 that was parked on the north side along with a B-25 and BT-13. I think they all belonged to a fellow by the name of Johann Larsen. The O-47 is the one in Kansas? now. The BT-13 is now flown by the So. Minn. Wing of the CAF.

Dick Phillips asked me to post this from him:

It is indeed N3156G and at Flying Cloud in 1973.
