Bland but beautiful. Postwar B-25s

I keep my eye out for photos of postwar 25s just for fun. I figure they might be of interest even if they aren't combat birds and lack any fancy paint. Workhorses at this point I guess

The BD birds I believe were stationed at Vance AFB. The others at Amarillo Texas

According to fuselagecodes.com, the planes with the "number/U" would have been wartime trainers based at Pampa, Texas:

No info on the "OK" code, however.

BD is the standard post war Buzz Letters for the B-25

OK might be the abbreviation for Oklahoma Air National Guard

There truly is a definite shortage of Post War photos of B-25s as Trainers as they were used for so long after the war
