Bodhi, did you get to fly in B-25's?  Can you tell us about it?


Where I used to work in Florida we had two B-25J's.  We flew them all the time.  I have flown in every position in the J, as well as flown most in Barbie III, a B-25H with cannon.  I found the aircraft to handle quite well, although a bit sluggish on aileron authority.  Other than being loud as all get out, they were vey fond experiences for me.
I regret doing business with TD Computer Systems.

Well done Brooke!

The planes are now in Casper this weekend.

I'm working, so I won't get a chance to do what you and Mitch did.

Was fun to walk through it with y'all.

Bodhi, that is very cool.  I'll bet you are looking forward a bit to AH adding the B-25! :)

One thing that I'm wondering about from the ride -- I'm wondering if you guys saw this much on the B-25's you had.  One or both engines would backfire occasionally while taxiing (or more appropriately, I guess I should say "afterfire", as the blast came out the exhaust stack, as far as I could tell, not out the intake manifold).  Did you guys observe that much on your B-25's?

I am looking forward most to having the Attack version of the B25.

I really can't wait!

Brooke those are great :)

Those came through Sacramento a few weeks back, met Easyscor and HB555 at the base.  Good looking planes.
