The North American BÐ25J ÔMitchellÕ of the Confederate Air Force (CAF) ÒMiss MitchellÓ flown by Lt. Donald E. Oliver (Airplane Commander) lands at Hector Field after a salute to World War two veterans.

The B-25 was a safe and forgiving aircraft to fly. With one engine out, 60-degrees banking turns into the dead engine were possible, and control could be easily maintained down to 145 mph. The pilot had to remember to maintain engine-out directional control at low speeds after takeoff with rudder; if this maneuver was attempted with ailerons, the aircraft could snap out of control. The tricycle landing gear made for excellent visibility while taxiing. The only significant complaint about the B-25 was the extremely high noise level produced by its engines. -[wiki]
