ON THE COVER: Top Flite’s new B-25J Mitchell Bomber ARF will be a striking addition to any flight line. See page 42 for Craig Trachten’s complete report on this legendary WWII warbird. Photo by Walter Sidas Inset: Seen at Florida Jets 2008, Craig Gottschang’s A-10 is nearly impossible to distinguish from the real thing. Francis Michael's complete report on this spectacular jet-together begins on page 24. Photo by Palmer Johnson
