Aircraft pics

[427TJ]

This B-25, registered N86427, used to buzz the east bay (San Francisco) hills where I grew up back in the late 60s and early 70s. Man, there was no mistaking the sound of those two Wright R-2600s and often this airplane would roar right over the house. The owner, Ralph Johnson, was involved with several old airplanes out at Oakland back in those days and this photo was taken at an impromptu display at Oakland in 1967. That's me in the shorts under the nose. This B-25 is now in Spain in an air museum.
