Skyfair 2017 - B-25J Mitchell and PBJ-1J Mitchell - Warbirds

Skyfair 2017, hosted by Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum.
FHCAM's B-25J Mitchell:
The distinctive emblem of the 490th Bomb Squadron adorns both sides of the nose of the FHC’s B-25J. The artwork was developed in the early 1930s by engineer Eugene Clay and painted on the nose of a Lockheed Hudson ferried into the Pacific by Colonel James A. Philpott, the first commander of the 490th. The image, always with a fearsome skull and a set of Army Air Corps pilot’s wings in a white and black circle, was used throughout WWII but was never officially accepted by the Army Air Forces.
Commemorative Air Force - Southern California Wing - PBJ-1J
The PBJ-1J “Mitchell” flew into Camarillo from Midland, Texas in April, 1993.
After inspection, the aircraft was put into our long restoration process, and at the conclusion this “Mitchell” is as brand-new as it was when it came off the assembly line.
The B-25 Mitchell is painted in the colors of a Marine Corps PBJ-1J, named “Semper Fi” with Globe and Anchor painted on the starboard nose.
