RE LIVE HISTORY ON A FLIGHT IN A WORLD WAR TWO B-25 AT WWRE:
 "Executive Sweet" to participate at Wing Wheels & Rotors 2009.......

"Executive Sweet", a World War Two B25 Mitchell medium bomber, will be at Wings Wheels Rotors & Expo at Los Alamitos Army Airfield on Sunday, 25 October . Flights around the local area will be offered.

The B25 was manufactured for the Army Air Corps by North American Aviation.
Executive Sweet, tail number 44-30801,was built in Kansas,City, KS as a B-25J in 1944 and was used mostly for training Army bomber crews. Among her long flying history, she was used in the move, "Catch 22". She has twin Wright Double Cyclone engines rated at 1700 hp each. Maximum speed is 275 mph and cruises at 230 mph.
This aircraft has a wing span of 68 feet and weighs 21,000 lbs empty and up to 35k lbs20at full gross weight.

Hornet(CV-8) to bomb Japan. Executive Sweet also participated in the Doolittle Raid 50th Anniversary in 1992.

Executive Sweet now belongs to the American Aeronautical Foundation (www.aafgroup.com), a non profit aviation group run by volunteers out of Camarillo Airport. This B-25 also participates in various other airshows and events around the country.


Flights in this aircraft will be offered for $ 425 a seat. A flight of a lifetime...A flight into history...


A ride" experience" flight will be a 30 minute trip around a 25 miles radius of Los Alamitos viewing and exploring the nearby areas. During this time you may take part in experiencing all of the different crew positions onboard the aircraft.

Anyone know if they fixed their runway? if not i dont think we'll be seeing any fixed wing stuff come in.

My guess: No
why?: i have yet to see a fixed wing military aircraft come in ever since i started living under the landing path. well i i saw a KC-130 once

Usually some, but this is mainly a carshow.  The Banana and the UH-1B are arriving at 13:00 together.  I think Keith mentioned John Collver is flying.  Its arrival and departures that I stay for.   

If you do go early mention your are media and with apsocal and if issue ask for E LTC NGCA Thomas Lasser.

I like! <thumbsup> Definitely a different perspective and motive.  I take this was shot with your 10-22mm?

By the way, great shots everybody that attended the event.  Still pretty disappointed that I was not able to go.  Last minute academic obligations.... >:( ::)

Yes, I was using the 10-22. You know you're a photographer when you go all the way out to, and it's still not wide enough for your taste.

Just imagine if Canon made that lens for the full frame bodies.  I'm sure it would appeal to many, including yourself.  Talk about wide angle bliss. ;D

Post by: Flygirlpainter on October 29, 2009, 06:07:42 PM
The air show was great. Wings and Rotors had the Huey there and we had lots of company. We flew out with the H21 from Classic Rotors. On the way home, since we were all going the same way-the Marines from Pendleton flew back with us up the coast. Here are some pictures I took and a couple my husband Scott took,,we passed the camera back in forth in the Huey,,,being careful not to drop it out the door!! Scott was facing the ocean so the sun was kinda in his face,, I was sitting in the left door so the shots I got have a little better light. Not too bad considering we were in a Huey going about 90 knots in formation!

Thanks Keith,, I just got a new camera when I was up at Whidbey Island in the Navy exchange-thay had a bigger selection than Best Buy,, plus no tax!  <angel>

anyway,,got a few pics sent to me from one of the Marine Huey guys,, there OK,, but they had smaller cameras. I am still waiting to find out what squadron the Cobra was from involved in the accident-my heart is saddened by the event...so sad....

anyway-- looks like we are heading to Norfolk for New Years,,,goig to paint a Seahawk for HSC-9!

take care

The Marine Cobra that crashed with the CG C-130 was from Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 469 at MCAS Camp Pendleton.
