On Saturday April 6th, a restored B-25 Mitchell named "Axis Nightmare" was on display on the grass about 20ft from rwy 13/31 at Lambert. This is about 100ft from the 94th Aerosquadron restaurant. It was like a sight from Europe- about 200 people from 90 to 2 years old running around the fence enclosing the B-25 and some inside it. But most of the people were drinking, eating, and socializing at the restaurant patio! The "Axis Nightmare" was built on V-J Day in 1945, and the second to last B-25 built at Fairfax, KS. This aircraft will be featured in Columbia, S.C. for the 60th anniversary of the Doolittle Raid on April 17-21. The plane trained pilots, but never used in combat. I took about one full roll of film in the cockpit, bombay, and exterior! Very immaculate aircraft. In addition I was about 100ft closer to the already near 12L departures 600ft away! A great day at good ole Lambert! Love to hear from you all!

Turbo,
I missed it. How did you get to it? Was it just sitting down the hill from the 94'th or did you have to go through Midcoast?
Heed our warnings or your future will be underpant free!

It was on a sloping hill right to the east of the restaurant, towards McDonnell Blvd. We parked at the 94th, and accessed it from the grass by the patio.
