This B-25 'Mitchell' is a World War II medium bomber. Gerry Beck flew this aircraft from Rockville TX to Wahpeton ND on 2/3/1984. He never got around to restoring it. It was towed to Fargo last year after Beck died in a flying accident. It is on display at the Fargo Air Museum, in a building that carries his name in tribute.

quot;The men wore headphones over their ears and plugs in their ears to protect against the noise from the 18-cylinder engines that frequently belched fire in burning about 150 gallons of gas an hour.
They had no radio aboard, so the only contact they had with anyone was when they were on the ground. And that happened two times before getting to Wahpeton.quot; -Fargo Forum, 2/4/1984 page A1
