This maybe old news here on the WIX but I dont recall it being mentioned before. The B-25 Sunday Punch 44-86698 has been sold to Ronald Fagen. After getting some work done at Aero Trader in Chino it will be joining Mr Fagen's collection in Granit Falls,Mn.

Wow, that is some great news Pat! I look forward to there being a third B-25 flying in Minnesota again (after my beloved "Betty's Dream" left for Texas back in late 2010). I'm hoping to be able to get out to their air air show at Granite Falls in June.

This info was in my Warbird Digest but it did not state just how long it would be in Chino for any and all needed work. Whether it will be ready to go by Oshkosh is unknown.

They are advertising four Mitchells for the Chino Show. Might this be one of them?

Gen Lyon's shiny one is due to appear at Chino, plus the usual Locally-based pair (Photo Fanny & Pacific Princess) will make three, not sure about the fourth one.

If Lewis' "Russian Ta Get Ya" heads back to Chino from Urbana, that may be the fourth?

Great to hear Pat... glad it is going to a good home that will certainly keep it flying in great shape! Thanks for sharing it!

Cheers,
Ryan

In the article there was no mention of a possible paint job.
