This North American B-25D Mitchell named “Grumpy” was originally built in 1943 and has been fully restored. It is now one of the beautiful vintage planes in the Historic Flight Foundation collection. More information about “Grumpy” can be found here. [...] [...] Here’s a side view of the B-25 that shows the 2 window openings we were to shoot from.

Tried his website but "bandwidth exceeded". I hope he'll see this and contact me (david.poissant@sympatico.ca) I chair the 2nd Tactical Air Force Medium Bombers Association; I would like to connect with ‘Jon Pinckney’ re his grandfather’s WWII service (must have been with 98 Sqn RAF) and photo.

The pilot-in-command is retired Navy and a veteran of perhaps twenty Reno Air Races. Between the two of them, they figured out the T-6. The lad was a passenger in a two-seat trainer.

You looked great from the ground -- sounded great, too, or I might not have looked up, but I heard you coming and knew it sure wasn't the shuttle. Glad you had such a spectacular day for your flight! Come by anytime. Had the pleasure of seeing your passage over the Port Angeles area yesterday afternoon.

What a magnificent sight! Every time I see one of these historic aircraft in action I can't help but to again imagine in amazement that long ago 467-foot distance. I also managed to catch a glimpse and a quick photo from a distance of one of the last five surviving Doolittle Raiders who also turned out to see the show. While they likely may not think so, those 80 gentlemen are national treasures. Thanks for the show, guys. Can't wait to see my photo slides...

Thank you for this great experience! My father was a WWII B-25 pilot. He flew from a base on Corsica to targets around Northern Italy, mainly the Po River Vally and the Brenner Pass. Years later, in reflection, he identified the B-25 as his overall favorite aircraft to fly. He flew over 18-odd aircraft models in his USAAF & USAF career, with some real competition from the B-26 Invader. :-) Yesterday, Saturday, 24SEP2011, I was one of the crowd at Paine Field that watch your collection’s B-25, “Grumpy” (and the “J” Model B-25 from the Flying Heritage Collection) put on a flight demonstration.
