On April 20, 2019, the Experimental Aircraft Association’s B-25, Berlin Express, made its first flight in decades after a restoration that took nearly four and a half years. The airplane, best known for its role in the 1970 movie Catch-22, will join EAA’s B-17, Aluminum Overcast, on a tour throughout the country as part of the association’s living history outreach program.

As a mechanic on c.a.f.’s B-25 SHOW ME , along with many others, this aircraft. And B-52 are my favorite. It’s great to have another b-25 in the air. Will you guys be coming to st.louis?
Thank you EAA! Love those B25’s. I’m too young (72) to have flown one in WWII, but I’ve always loved that bird!
