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;Beck said their flying speed was between 210 and 220 miles an hour and they flew at 6,000 feet most of the time. Visibility became a problem only about the last 12 miles because of the ground drifting snow, he said.quot; -Fargo Forum, 2/4/1984 page A1
