Description
For those of you who don't care ... this is an old airplane, and I'll be posting photographs of bits and pieces of it for your amusement later on.
When I post photographs of parts of airplanes, it gives Rob a bit of a heart attack, so ...
Just for you, my friend ... here's the whole plane! Make sure you look at this in full view. I left it pretty big so you can enjoy the experience. Not only is this the whole plane, but it's a three-shot pano!
This is a B-25J Mitchell Bomber, best guess on build date is 1944. Restoration was recently completed, and it looks like it's fresh off the showroom floor. They'll be flying it on September 24th.
So Rob ... look at this real big, check out how many things you can see in this hangar, and let me know when you want us to pick you up at the airport. :D LOL!

Good one on Rob! Nice pano, and I'll be looking forward to the bits and pieces especially because I will be doing the same thing in a museum later this Fall. With these old war birds, there are thousands of full photos in the air, on the ground, in the rain, in the snow and so on, BUT the very interesting details usually cannot be well seen!

Super shot, super plane and I bet Rob will be drooling.

nice picture, and very tricky with the back-light, but it looks lovely

What a fab pic, even if it is of planes! The light is just glotious, and the pano immaculate.(Of course!)

Very cool Tara, and is that Bill I see back there?

This is a wonderful image of one of the workhorses of World War II. Sixteen of these planes took off from the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Hornet in April 1942 to conduct the first strike against the Japanese home islands after Pearl Harbor. Such a feat was unheard of until then. I'll bet Bill will love this.

A wonderful showroom with very expensive looking products. I wonder if you were purchasing!! A super panorama with great details and I see Bill is absorbed with catching a good shot too.

well Tara you dedicated the upload of this fine aircraft to Rob - and rightly so. But it doesn't mean the rest of us, those of us that also like aircraft, can't enjoy it too. You answered my question, it is in flying condition, and not just for static display. It looks almost too nice and clean to take out and get it dirty lol. I am looking forward to you posting details of parts etc. You are good at this kind of thing. I am sure Rob will be ecstatic about this pano. Come to think of it, I never attempted to take a pano indoors. I will keep this in mind for future use.

You nailed this one tk! I've only done one indoor pano (MiG 29) but I never gave this gorgeous B-25 a thought. Now, I get the opportunity to say, Wow, I really like the shiny floor! lol. [As well as everything else about this first rate photo].

that a big hanger for the big plane

Quite interesting. My father was in one of those.

Wow--I can't believe it's the WHOLE thing!!

WOW! What a shot! It reminds me of something I read--totally unrelated: Desolation Road by Ian McDonald. It's such a fun and brilliant novel. In it, I'd discovered the Church of the Immaculate Contraption, and for obvious reasons, when I saw this shot, my immediate thought was: Oh, so that's what an immaculate contraption looks like! Needless to say I was amused. And then on full zoom, I enjoyed all of the rich details, the shinny, glimmery-bits...the spot of blue (Bill's shirt?) on the photographer in the background (Bill?) and all of the other fun stuff. Have you noticed, also, that the ceiling of the hangar looks like it might be made of some kind of high-tech silk with strut-work supports? Or is that just me? Anyway...WOW! I love the light and the color and the shapes. This is the kind of thing that makes me giddy. It's a fantastic dedication too! What a showroom! Does it have that new plane smell? (Or that newly refurbished plane smell, as the case may be?)
