August Challenge - Opps

Opps - how often does a B-25 fly over your house? Maybe half a dozen times when there is an air show in town! Not that we live near the airport - just happens to be a common turning point for aircraft!

From the owners website - It was in Hawaii that B-25J number 43-28147 became the possession of Capt. Don Seiler of the 396th Bomb Squadron. Seiler
named his new plane Panchito after the feisty Mexican rooster from the
1945 Disney animated musical The Three Cabarellos.

Panchito did see action in the South Pacific in the last days of WWII.

Also from the owners website, the model company, Monogram made a B-25J 1:48 scale model kit, and the box cover had a good color painting of Panchito.

A beautiful site to see glimmering in the sun and hear those two 1,700-hp Wright R-2600 engines purr.
