B-25J "Sweet Dreams"
The B-25 bomber was integral to WWII; it was designed by North American Aviation, Inc., in response to a prewar requirement and was first flown in 1940. A high-wing monoplane with a twin tail and tricycle landing gear, it was powered by two 1,700-horsepower Wright radial engines, had a wingspan of 67 feet 7 inches, was 53 feet 6 inches long, and carried a crew of four to six. The B-25 had a range of 1,350 miles, a maximum speed of about 300 miles per hour, and a ceiling of 24,000 feet. It could carry 3,000 pounds of bombs internally in the bomb bay and more externally on underwing racks. It is most famous for the Doolittle Raid in April of 1942, America's first offensive attack on Japan after Pearl Harbor.

Ongoing Projects
The Gonzalez Flyer/Front Entrance Restoration is underway. Around two years ago, we raised the original 1912 Gonzalez Flyer into the sky. We are almost finished with this project! As of 2023, our museum store has been open and we plan to complete this extensive project by 2026. None of this could be done without the help of our devoted volunteers. Join us today!
