Does anyone know which B-25 this is?

Goddag, T.J.

I've tried to match the aircraft with pictures in Scott's book to no avail. There are other aerial tankers pictured with the same or similar modifications. I'm surprised at the total lack of identifying registration and/or tanker numbers on this one. It appears to have the Hayes modification air intakes so, that's one clue. Any idea where/when the picture was taken?

It's: N9079Z 44-30734, flew as tanker #32
Shot taken at the now-closed SST Museum, nr. Kissimmee Florida, probably mid 70's (1974-1978?). I've got several shots of the same bird, same location taken in October of 1977. Museum is gone, as are all of the aircraft.

Great to see this former museum piece still flying as "Panchito." Here's a link -
