Nice restoration.
My house was buzzed on Sunday by this one....not everyday your windows rattle from a B-25.......

Apparently on its way to an Air Show in Virginia Beach.....they were giving rides around my city.......flew over my house at least four times.....was able to get my camera and take pictures from my backyard.
Gere's the link to video from local news.
As slow and loud as these were, I can appreciate how brave those guys were on that Doolittle raid on Tokyo in WWII....

I really appreciate how they left the original exterior body panels as is and didn't try to recreate the paint scheme on the new ones, very unique and historic look.

WWII Pilot Flies His C-47 One Last Time

Note under video:

Scott Glover with the Mid America Flight Museum had the honor to fly with Gerald Parker in the museum's C-47. Gerald actually flew this exact airplane in WWII. This video really shows how fond Scott is of Gerald and how much respect he has towards him. Gerald looks like he hasn't forgotten a thing about flying the C-47!!

We unfortunatly lost Gerald just days after shooting this video. He is sorely missed and thought of often.

GOD bless you Gerald. RIP
