[MRCA] Possibility of loosing a B-25J

[Douglas]

I became involved with a flying WWII B-25J Mitchell Bomber, the  
"Heavenly Body", some of you might haven even seen her at Van Nuys,  
CA or at an air show. For those of you that don't know, the aircraft  
itself is basically a flying museum and has been restored to nearly  
95% of its original WWII military configuration. I took to restoring  
the old communications gear inside as I have a deep interest in  
military radio gear and aircraft. As of today I've managed to restore  
the BC-348 receiver and we're moving to get the BC-375 up and running  
with the trailing antenna. It's really something to see and hear the  
receiver operating just as it did over 60 years ago and see WWII  
radio vets that actually flew in them get to work the controls again.  
I believe it's the only one like it in the world, really.

Unfortunately this piece of history risks being pushed aside at a  
minimum and at the extreme, might be lost to future generations to  
experience.

I probably would risk being banned from the list for doing this, but  
I'd like to put a link to a petition for people interested to sign.  
Are there objections to this? You can also contact me directly for  
the links which might be better.

Ps. As a side note we also have Half-track with a quad mount that's  
something else, but no radio yet.
