B-25 Mitchell – Erickson Aircraft Collection

Introduced in 1941, this American medium bomber was named after Brigadier General William ‘Billy’ Mitchell, a visionary pioneer and a founding father of U.S. military aviation.

Soldiering in every theater of World War II, the aircraft was utilized by nearly all Allied air forces and remained in service for over four decades post-war. While nearly 10,000 B-25s were built, only about 45 of these warbirds remain airworthy today, preserved as flying tributes to aviation history.

The North American B-25 Mitchell is widely considered the premier American medium bomber of World War II. Its reputation as a legend was shaped through rugged reliability and unmatched versatility.

With max speeds from 272-300 miles per hour, the Mitchell was powered by twin Wright R-2600 Cyclone engines, giving the aircraft the brute strength needed to take off from short, rough runways that would have grounded other bombers. This design made the B-25 a truly adaptable machine- one capable of everything from high-altitude bombing to daring, low-level attacks.

Watching a B-25 today is a rare privilege, as these legendary aircraft are among the few warbirds still soaring decades after their prime. During its performance, viewers can expect a nostalgic and historically rich experience cultivated by the thunderous, distinct roar of twin radial engines.

These flight demonstrations often feature low-altitude passes, high-speed runs, and simulated combat maneuvers that bring the past to life. Most B-25s on the circuit are meticulously maintained in their original combat-ready configurations, creating a thrilling and authentic experience.
