Progress is being reported in the restoration of owner Ron Fagen’s North American B-25J Mitchell 44-86698, Registration number N325N. Formerly going by the name “Sunday Punch” and known for its unusual solid nose that bristled with guns and its colorful nose art, the plane is currently being restored by Aero Trader in Chino California and is scheduled to be fitted with a standard glass nose and will be repainted, though the first task to be addressed will be corrosion.
Born in Milan, Italy, Moreno moved to the U.S. in 1999 to pursue a career as a commercial pilot. His aviation passion began early, inspired by his uncle, an F-104 Starfighter Crew Chief, and his father, a military traffic controller. Childhood adventures included camping outside military bases and watching planes at Aeroporto Linate. In 1999, he relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, to obtain his commercial pilot license, a move that became permanent. With 24 years in the U.S., he now flies full-time for a Part 91 business aviation company in Atlanta. He is actively involved with the Commemorative Air Force, the D-Day Squadron, and other aviation organizations. He enjoys life with his supportive wife and three wonderful children.
