MAAM-SIM FS9 B-25J "Pacific Prowler"

This is a repaint only for the MAAM-SIM FS9 B-25J 'Briefing Time'.

History: "Pacific Prowler" USAF VB-25N
B-25J s/n 44-30823 started its’ career on March 1, 1945 as an AAF trainer. In 1949 it was reassigned as a VIP transport and became a VB-25J where it served in that capacity until it was landed gear up in 1958. It was purchased as salvage for only $855 by Wenatchee Air Services of Wenatchee, WA and was repaired and converted to an air tanker. Then in 1962 Tallmantz Aviation bought it and had a custom camera nose built for use in film making where it was used to make over 80 films including “Catch 22” in 1969. It was sold in 1986 to Universal Aviation and was the primary camera ship to make the film “Memphis Belle”. It changed hands 3 more times and the nose was converted back to it’s original look as a “J” model. It is currently privately owned and now flies as “Pacific Prowler”, with a polished aluminum look. The original “Pacific Prowler” flew with the 5th Air Force out of New Guinea over 120 missions.
