Catch-22 TB-25N 44-30748 (N8195H)


N8195H more or less derelict at Greybull, Wyoming, in 1965. At this point it was owned by Christler & Avery Aviation, having been purchased by them in 1959 for conversion to a sprayer or duster. (Milo Peltzer)
N8195H was marked with just the squadron patch for most of the filming, though some reports say it was also marked as Miss Rennee at one point. Here it is getting a nose wheel changed. (Stoney Stonich)
N8195H was one of the first Catch-22 B-25s to be purchased for use as a show airplane. It was sold by Filmways to Tallmantz in August 1971, then purchased by Milo Pupich and his partners in February 1974. It is seen here at Madera's Gathering of Warbirds in August 1987. (Scott Thompson)
N8195H has undergone a continual and ongoing restoration process ever since, and remains in excellent condition and airworthy, based at Van Nuys. This view shows the airplane in April 1998 at Half Moon Bay. (Scott Thompson)
