B-25 Tribute Panchito - Highlights

It was the workhorse of World War II, the only aircraft to fight in every theater of the conflict. Of the nearly 10,000 built, fewer than 40 B-25 Mitchells remain airworthy today. This is the story of one plane that survived. We celebrate the mighty B-25's enduring legacy through the spectacular 'Panchito,' an airframe restored in the striking, polished bare-metal finish that honors the 41st Bomb Group's Central Pacific warriors. Go inside the cockpit for a rare in-flight experience and hear firsthand commentary from founder and owner Larry Kelly. Witness the devoted efforts of the pilots, restorers, and maintainers who ensure this historic aircraft remains a flying tribute. From rare historical footage to an exclusive look inside the world’s only B-25 flight school, discover how these passion-driven efforts guarantee the Mitchell will continue to roar in America's skies for decades to come.
