Inspired by the sight of two flying B-29s at Boeing Plaza this week, EAA said it's ready to launch another bomber-restoration project, for the North American B-25 Mitchell in its museum collection, the Berlin Express. The aircraft, built in 1943, served during World War II, and later flew as an executive transport. In 1970, it appeared in the film Catch-22, then was bought by a collector. When the collector died a year later, the B-25 was donated to EAA. It was restored in 1975 and flew for several years, till it was damaged after a gear failure during a landing. Since then, it's been a non-flying part of the EAA Aviation Museum collection.
