The plane was dropped from the RCAF inventory on Jun 18, 1962, and sold to Lawrence Hicks Ltd of Saint Thomas, ON, with the registration of CF-NWV. The plane was flown to St. Thomas on Aug 2, 1962 and was going to be converted for agricultural operations but was instead stored there. In June 1968 it was purchased by Aerodix/Richard McPherson of New Albany, OH, but he passed it the following month to Glenn Lamond of Detroit, who registered it as NX3774. The plane was finally ferried to Detroit on Oct 24, 1969, where it spent the next six years undergoing restoration and making its first post-restoration flight on Aug 25, 1975. In 1987 it was acquired by its current owner, the Yankee Air Force at Detroit’s Willow Run Airport.

From May 5 to Sep 16, 1957 the plane was back with Hayes for modifications before returning to the 3545th PTW. In December 1958 the plane was retired to storage at Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ, and the next month it was stricken from the USAF and purchased by National Metals of Phoenix, AZ, who registered the plane as N9456Z. The rest of the information about its civilian life you already have. 44-30243 B-25J Taken on strength ca.Dec 1944, by Jan 1945 it was with the 329th Base Unit at Columbia Army Air Base, SC. By Feb 1946 it was with the 112th BU at Grenier Field, NH. Nothing else is found on the Internet as for unit assignments or duties until it was retired to Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ, in December 1957. However, we can know it was used for various training duties because in April 1946 it was redesignated as TB-25J, and then in February 1953 it was apparently converted for transport duties because it was redesignated as CB-25J. Then in October 1954 it was converted to TB-25N. The plane was most likely struck from the Air Force ca. January or February 1958. On Jun 16, 1958 it was acquired by the Maricopa Dust Spray company of Maricopa, AZ, and used as a sprayer, registered as N9622C. Beginning in Jan 1959 the plane passed through six more owners until Oct 1966 when it was purchased by Richard McPherson of New Albany, OH.

By 1990 after the museum closed, it was purchased by Jay Wisler/Warbird Parts Memorabilia of Tampa, FL. Then it moved in 1994 to Tom Reilly Aviation of Kissimmee, FL, and then to Daryl Greenameyer, of Ocala, FL. The plane was restored for static display and in 2000 was donated to the USMC Air Museum at MCAS Quantico, VA. It was painted blue and marked as a PBJ.

In 2001 it was loaned to the Military Aviation Preservation Society Museum, in Akron, OH. The plane was withdrawn from service in 2002 and loaned to the Historical Aircraft Squadron at Lancaster, OH.
