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.
