Hot, tired, confused, a little scared, and way behind the airplane, the McMahon way!

That's all,

Awesome pictures and some good reading material for he flight. Just finished that book myself, very good.
 
I am incredibly jealous!

Two questions though: (1) What camera (2) How old are you?
 
Very cool pictures! I noticed a very large split with the throttles but it looks like the mixtures are matched pretty evenly....what's the technique there?

Does the B-25 require a type rating? I'm curious what the MTOW is...?

I'd guess it does not, because it's probably in a restricted category...just a guess though.

The airplane has auto-lean carburetors so the mixture has three settings; full rich, auto-lean, and cut off. The engines are supercharged and the blower can either be in low or high. The change over altitude for the supercharger is 10,000'. The closer you get to 10,000' you get, the more the difference in rigging between the two engines is exaggerated, which becomes visible in the positioning of the throttles.

The airplane does require a type rating. Max gross weight is 34,000 pounds although the Air Force used nearly twice that as their war time max gross weight. If I recall correctly it was in the neighborhod of 74,000 pounds.
