Sunday was a big day for the SoCal Wing of the Commemorative Air Force as its North American PBJ-1J — the Navy version of the B-25 — named Semper Fi took flight for the first time since it landed at the Camarillo Airport in California 23 years ago almost to the day. The low-level marine layer that threatened the success of the flight burned off just after noon, leaving brilliant blue skies with patchy clouds that provided a perfect backdrop for the beautifully restored airplane.
