B-25 Ride

A buddy took a ride on the B-25 out of Centennial Airport in Colorado. Here's some footage he took that I pieced together. Wish there was more actual flight footage but I did the best I could with the usuable clips.

How small the world is. I was on the field that day cause I worked for ATG which was located at Centennial. I recorded some Videos too. Ther somewhere on one of my harddisks. I´ll upload them and send you the link! Great video man, reminds me on old times.

@TheWhistlerCode Hey, that'd be great. I'll look forward to it.

Thanks for posting this excellent video! I had the honor to be aboard the Collins Foundation "Tondelayo" B25 in Johnstown, PA. (no ride though, damn.) Loved the sound, perfectly captured on this video, good job!

thx for watching. I just lent the camcorder. my buddy was the lucky dog who got to fly in that beautiful AC. I got the biggest kick when he turned the cam on himself near the end of the vid...grinning ear to ear. Can't blame him, i'd be grinning too

i got a ride on one of those it made me nauseous but it was awesome cuz we took off overa soccer game and every one looked up at us

I don't know how anyone could NOT look up when one of these flys overhead.

Ending comments so true- from one whose father built B25's in Inglewood, Cal; and who has earned his pilot's license in 1994; and has flown with Collings' B25 ;Thank You!

Strange to think that in 1939, tricycle-gear planes must have looked downright odd to people who had grown up thinking of planes as being "nose-up" on the ground! Anyway, I'm glad to see it still has it's old "spiny" exhaust stubs...most warbird B-25's have been "smoothed out" by putting twin large stacks on each engine. Call me a purist, but I hate that no-one knows what it was like to fly so many original warbirds (the way they were in 1944, no modern radios, etc).

@jack887 I went through "Tondelayo" as well, but never got a ride either. Had a great time going through, though.

@Yabbadaba2 Yea, need to find it first. Got almost 4TB of Pics and videos I´ve taken while I worked in Englewood.
