Among the planes on display at Wings Over Meridian is the World War II B-25 Bomber.

It's widely considered among the most famous twin-engine bombers from that era.

"The B-25 was a very prolific airplane. They made almost eleven thousand of them, and they flew in all theaters of the war, and throughout the war," said pilot Paul Newer. "And you can't say that about many of the other airplanes in the war."

The "Panchito", as the B-25 is called, is sponsored by Disabled American Veterans.
