Check out a ghost from the Second World War, once lost, but now has a home at Owens Field Airport in Columbia, South Carolina. This B-25C is the only known intact aircraft remaining from the fleet used to train the airmen who perpetuated Jimmy Doolittle's legacy at the Columbia Army Air Base. GF-2 crashed in Lake Greenwood during a training exercise on June 6, 1944, and spent 39 years underwater. She was recovered in 1983 and has called Columbia, SC home ever since.

Host Andrew Davis joins Ron Skipper and Chuck Messick of the SC Historic Aviation Foundation as they FLY into the history behind this rare aircraft!
