Exciting news! The Yankee Air Museum is repainting their B-25D Yankee Warrior, back into its original wartime colors of Ellen E. & Sons! The aircraft flew at least 7 combat missions in the MTO, making it one of the few B-25s still flying with confirmed combat history.

Not sure how I feel about this. It's good to see new markings and honor her history I guess but I did appreciate how the aircraft all tied in with 'Yankee'. Looks like it might be a green over gray scheme that should be a bit different from others out there at least!

Meet aircraft #9 a C-45 expeditor named Spirit of West Texas. This aptly named aircraft is connected to the community by helping to tell the story of the Midland Army Air Field. One of many airfields across the country which swiftly went into action as a training hub for young soldiers. It’s time for this aircraft to get some maintenance work done to ensure it continues to take to the skies of West Texas.

I'm really excited about the repaint even though I loved the Yankee Warrior scheme. There are other polished B-25s, but there are very few that are actual combat vets. It will be great to see one in its actual scheme!

In other heavy warbird news, Mid America Flight Museum acquired B-17 Flying Fortress "Thunderbird" from Lone Star Flight Museum! Hopefully this eventually mean more airshow appearances for Thunderbird, even if that doesn't immediately happen in 2021.
