What a pretty thing... the silvery B-25 Mitchell from the Flying Bulls team does look indeed awesome as it takes to the skies at Sanicole International Airshow (ISA 2022)!

"All that glitters is not gold"... it can also be one of the beautiful polished-silver aircraft from Red Bull, lolololol. :D

This video also features the demo flight of the Hellenic Air Force 'Daedalus' demo team, using a T-6A Texan II aircraft, and a few bonus scenes from ISA 2022. :)

The B-25 is one of the most dazzling aircraft ever built in the USA. There are many stories about the famous twin-engined “Mitchell”, which was named in honor of General William Mitchell.

Between 1941 and 1945, North American Aviation produced about 10000 B-25 aircraft, characterized by their distinctive twin tail. The aircraft’s trademark features are its glass nose and tail guns. Some versions came equipped with a turret on the upper and lower side of the fuselage instead of a rear gunner station.

The most frequently built version of the aircraft is the B-25J, which is also owned by the Flying Bulls. Compared to older aircraft types, it comes with many improvements such as de-icing equipment. The glass tail of the demilitarized version is one of the Flying Bulls fleet’s most popular photo locations and vantage points. The two 14-cylinder twin radial engines produced by the Curtiss-Wright Corporation power the aircraft’s propellers with 3400 hp, allowing for top speeds of more than 500 km/h.

Without a doubt one of the most beautiful aircraft of the North American fleet, the performances of the Flying Bulls’ “Mitchell” remain a highlight – as well as its perfectly polished exterior, which still makes the B-25 what it used to be all along: one of the most dazzling aircraft of the USA.
