B-25 Engine Run – Smoke and Noise… Beautiful!

The B-25 engines are a rumbling again… Great news out of Polk County Florida as Kermit Weeks gets another of his grand WWII planes ready to fly again. Get a glimpse in this HD clip they posted recently.

Just watched it. So great to see and hear those great planes taking off. So thankful that the production of Catch-22 pretty much played a direct hand in preserving most of the B-25’s that remain airworthy today.

And the sound of this one here just brings a smile to my face.

Although the movie was never a favorite of mine, I watch it to see and hear those great planes flying again.

The first 15 minutes of which must be the greatest piston engine noise put to film!

Sure does! Although Kermit bought most of the Tallmantz collection, I don’t think this plane or any of the others he received were in that film.
