A World War II B-25 Mitchell bomber, piloted and maintained by the Commemorative Air Force Central Texas division, starts its two Wright R-2600s engines and taxis past the audience at The Great Texas Airshow, Sunday April 7th, 2024. The B-25 Mitchell was one of the many historical aircraft on display during the Airshow.

"Built by North American Aviation, the B-25 first flew on Aug. 19, 1940, and the U.S. Army Air Corps accepted the first five B-25s in February 1941. By the end of the war, North American Aviation had built a total of 9,816 B-25s at its California and Kansas plants."
