The last flying B-25 H bomber, Barbie III My first bomber ride ! Part 1

Barbie III calls Key West home these days but she used to hang out near me. I was lucky enough to spend a couple summers videotaping the B-25 H and her crew. At the time she was owned and operated by the Weary Warriors You never want to get a B-25 bomber mad at you! You will notice the Collings Foundation's B-25, Tondelayo in the back ground.

The airplane now belongs to History Flight. Go for a ride !

Many thanks Chuck for this very interesting video.

Many years ago (1977) I have had the opportunity to visit a B17 which was exposed at the Paris Airplaine museum, installed in Le Bouget airport (12km from Paris). It's the place where Charles Lindberg arrived in Paris and now it is used only for private flights. Just aside was a" Martin B26G Marauder" delivered for WWII to the french air force but no visit of it was possible.

Waiting now for the Part II !!!! :mrgreen:

In Part 2 we go for a ride in Barbie III B_25H. I managed to get a camera in the cockpit and in the rear of the aircraft.
There is even some intercom chatter. Never get a B-25 bomber mad at you.
