Aero Trader boneyard. This is probably one of the largest WW-II aircraft boneyards in the world. Checkout the radial engines, conformal fuel and oil tanks, and B-29 and B-17 aircraft fuselages in the video. Below is a listing of the aircraft inventory at the Aero Trader site. Aero Trader is known for their inventory of North American B-25 Mitchells.

A broken-down B-25 bomber, purchased on a whim twenty five years ago, has transformed the efforts of two men into a thriving company known the world over for award-winning, high-quality aircraft restorations. Carl Scholl and Tony Ritzman operate Aero Trader from their facility in Chino, California. The name Aero Trader has become synonymous with B-25 restorations, largely due to the company's capability to draw from its unmatched Mitchell parts inventory and its ability to manufacture, to original specifications, any B-25 part that is not otherwise available. A general survey of the B-25's flying in the United States today could hardly find one that hasn't enjoyed the touch of Scholl and Ritzman, or at least some parts from their Aero Trader cache.

Another spot to visit while playing in the desert off-road. Thanks.

Now the question I have is, are there enough good parts to put together a complete b29?

Amazing! Thanks for this!

I've read many articles referring to Aero Trader's parts source. A big WOW. I know I'll never be able to but I would love to wander in a such a place and drown in all that reference material. Listening to Kermit Weeks talk about not wanting to be involved with jet warbirds?
