History of Flight B-25H Mitchell “Barbie III” in Deland

On a recent roadtrip, I spotted B-25H Mitchell “Barbie III” in Deland. The aircraft is for sale via Trade-a-Plane but rumor has it that History Flight has gone bankrupt and the aircraft may be auctioned.

Update: Aircraft is not up for auction.

CAF P-51 “Tuskegee Airman” in Deland

The Florida Wing Commemorative Air Force Wing in Deland recently hosted the CAF Red Tail mobile display and P-51. Florida Warbird Jr and I took a road trip to visit the unit and had a great time. The local staff were awesome and the 30 minute movie about the Tuskegee Airmen was well done.

The Florida CAF unit had its T-34s on display as well on the ramp.

Here are some pictures of the display and aircraft.
