https://youtu.be/TxV6kbydpW4 This is a link to the movie Sole Survivor. What ever happened to this B-25. I saw it on display as a kid when it was at the old Cars of Stars, Planes of Fame when they were in Buena Park back in the 70's.

North American TB-25JN Mitchell c/n 108-34254, s/n 44-30979....these are possible tail numbers. -
This is from Baugher's list. 30979 converted to TB-25N. Reported at Air Museum, Ontario, CA Sep 1967.
and was noted at Planes of Fame, Chino, CA in 1976. Still there
in 1990.Comment

Cool movie, too, as I recall.
I remember reading that the producers of the series "The Twilight Zone" purchased a B-25 Bomber for use in one of the early episodes that was called "King 9 Will Not Return". As I recall, they bought the B-25 in 1959 for about $2,000.Comment

Unfortunately it was scrapped, but I could not determine what year.
The Aircraft-Spotter's Film and Television Companion says a fiberglass mock-up was built from molds made off 44-30979. I have no idea what as on display at Buena Park-- the metal plane or studio mock-up.Comment

Thanks for the info, that sucks they scrapped it. The detail on the Buena Park bird looks like the real deal. As a kid it looked good to me, but that was a long, long time ago.Originally posted by historyguy View PostComment

"King Nine" was on SyFy as part of a TZ marathon over the New Year. As best as I can tell that bird is around in parts in storage. Both story's have there roots in the Lady Be Good story.Originally posted by Bill D. View PostComment

The story of Lady Be Good fascinated me when I was a kid building models of WW2 bombers and I read about her.Comment
