The Warbirds of Glory Museum, located in Brighton, MI, is a non-profit organization dedicated to restoring and flying period aircraft from the Second World War. Founded in 2013 by aviation enthusiasts Patrick Mihalek and Todd Trainor, the museum aims to provide a unique educational experience and mentorship opportunities for students in mechanical skills, aircraft restoration, and American values.
One of the museum's notable projects is the restoration of the North American B-25J Sandbar Mitchell, serial number 44-30733. After being abandoned for forty-four years, the aircraft was successfully recovered in 2013 and is currently undergoing restoration at the museum's shop. Skilled volunteers, including students from the Kittyhawk Academy program, are working under the guidance of aircraft restorer Patrick Mihalek to bring the B-25 back to airworthy condition, with the goal of honoring the ship and crew of 43-27537 8Z of the 340th Bomb Group, 488th Bombardment Squadron.
