Nearly everyone who attends an airshow or has visited an aviation museum has probably envisioned themselves waving to people on the side of the taxiway from the cockpit of one of the airplanes they’ve seen. Some lean toward the North American B-25 “Mitchell” bomber, made famous by General Jimmy Doolittle and his band of 16 B-25s that took off from the aircraft carrier Hornet in April 1942. These pilots will be intrigued by the chance to climb the tiny ladder sticking out beneath the cockpit of an airplane like Panchito, a Mitchell owned and operated by the Delaware Aviation Museum Foundation in Georgetown, Delaware.
