So much for retiring. Looks like my brother may have talked me and my company into helping finish the restoration of this extremely rare B25C once owned by Howard Hughes. It will be the second Hughes airplane I have had my hands on in the last year. The other being the B23. This one will be a long term project for me flying to and from Chino California for several weeks at a time over the next year. I will get to bill my time through my company as a sub contractor so even better. Should be a fun venture and will keep Annie happy during my 'retirement'. Lol

No sir. Tony and Carl own Aero Traders but not this airplane. This B25C is owned by Fred P.
