Looked like it might be a bit cozy inside. What I found. North American B-25J Mitchell, NL3476G Tondelayo made its first visit to the Santa Barbara Airport. Tondelayo's North American construction number is 108-33257. It was delivered to the Army Air Force as 44-28932. After the war, its combat systems were removed, and it was redesignated TB-25N. It was retired from the Air Force in 1958 and stored for a short while at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. Earl "Red" Dodge of Anchorage, Alaska registered it as NL3476G on June 12, 1959. It was converted to a fire-fighting tanker with a 1,000-gallon retardent tank in the bomb bay in May 1962. Robert P. Schlaefli of Port Orchard, Washington bought it in 1966. The Collings Foundation acquired it on November 6, 1985 and flew it as 44-28932 Hoosier Honey. It was rebuilt after it crashed at Minute Man Field in Stowe, Massachusetts on June 10, 1987. It is operated by Collings Foundation West in Houston, Texas. It has been named Tondelayo since 2002 http://www.air-and-space.com/200705%20Collings%20Bombers.htm |
