This was the picture I found on your website. It would be the one on the right with the Indian head on the tail. Its a B-25 Mitchel but I cant quite make out the name on the side of the aircraft for the nose art. Thanks in advance Paul

| How funny, now the picture shows up. Guess we have to log in first to see the images.  Yes, that is "In the Mood". You can barely see in that picture, but there is a blond bombshell in a black nightie there. There are a few other pictures of her on the site too. |

It's a very nice plane. Very shiney and very loud when it flies by. Interesting, now I can view that image without logging in. Tricky how that works. | |
