Jerry Yagen, who operates the Fighter Factory and the Military Aviation Museum located at Virginia Beach, VA, has an incredibly well restored and flying B-25J, serial number 44-30129, “Wild Cargo,” in his extensive collection of flyable warbirds.
44-30129 has had a long journey returning to the air on its way to Jerry’s collection, as you will see in the following historical data, but it is now quite an air show worthy Mitchell bomber.

Thank you.
