Catch-22 TB-25N 44-30649 (N9452Z)


N9452Z after the filming while parked at Orange County Airport in November 1971. Name and nose art are no longer on the airplane, a bit unusual. Filmways sold this airplane to Tallmantz in August 1971 in an effort to close the books on the film. Tallmantz traded it and some other aircraft to the USAF Museum to obtain title to B-17G 44-83525 in April 1972. It does appear the tail code was repainted from 6V to 6W during the filming.
