B-25 Maintenance Fund
This week our maintenance team unfortunately discovered critical engine damage and have been working to repair it. Over the weekend, we discovered that the engine is not repairable by our maintenance team, but will require a full engine overhaul and will need to be sent back to the engine overhaul facility.
It is with deep sadness that we will not be able to participate in the Raid Across South Dakota or the Ellsworth Airshow. Our volunteers have truly been looking forward to both events. We hope that the engine overhaul can be completed quickly so that we can prevent additional show cancellations this season.
If you would like to contribute to our engine fund, please click here to help us get back in the air.
We truly appreciate your support and understanding.

My wife and i attended an event at St. Paul Downtown Airport hosted by RS&H. Mitch did a great job giving us a history lesson of the B25. Good luck with your continued restoration.

My father was one of the first pilots to fly this aircraft 44-29869 on 11/29/1944 almost immediately after its delivery to Douglas AZ.

Miss Michell gives me and Rb great pleasure when she flies over our IGH home in Skyline. My dad was in Air Force back in 1940's. My nephew retired from Air Force. I absolutely love seeing her.
