Back in August me and my family were camping up near Goderich, ON when we noticed a B-25 fly over the campground several times. Me and my dad decided to drive over to the airport to see if it was coming in to land and just as we got there it did. It turned out to be the Fighter Factory's newly restored B-25J Wild Cargo, it had just been painted at Sky Harbour Aircraft in Goderich, they were up for a test flight before heading back to Virginia Beach. Because the airport was so small we were able to go right out to the plane. There was also a newly painted Albatros at the airport, it went up and did a few really low flybys then landed, Wild Cargo left a few minutes later.

Here are two videos, the first on is Wild Cargo taxing out to the runway and the second is Wild Cargo leaving. (Sorry for the bad quality on the second video). I'll have some video's of the Albatros up soon too.

Nice catch Ryan. Sky Harbour Aircraft is a pretty neat place, and has painted quite a number of warbirds over the years. I remember when they painted Micheal Potters Spitfire. I had a tour there a few years ago, but unfortunately no warbirds were there at that time.

Damn, that Albatross couldn't have been more than 5' off the ground!!! Just about scraped off that new paint job!! Must have been fun for those driving up Hwy 21 to see that coming over.

Ya it was pretty sweet to see. Several of the cars on Hwy 21 ended up pulling over and watched it fly around again and land.
