This aircraft: The FHC's B-25J was built in Kansas City in the last days of 1944. It was one of 117 B-25s modified to carry a Hughes E1 fire control radar for training. The plane served with the Royal Canadian Air Force for ten years until it was sold as surplus in 1961.
Soon after, the plane was purchased by Cascade Drilling Company of Calgary and converted to a water-carrying "fire bomber." In the mid-1990s, the B-25 was purchased by the Flying Heritage Collection and restored to its wartime configuration by Aero Trader in Chino, California.
Fact: The B-25 was named after air power advocate General William "Billy" Mitchell. Flyers sometimes called the planes "Billy Bombers."
