RON MACARTHUR PHOTO Ron MacArthur May 13, 2021 The Delaware Aviation Museum Foundation hosted a pancake breakfast and open house May 8 in its museum hangar at Delaware Coastal Airport near Georgetown. After the weather cleared, several people who signed up for plane rides took to the air. Among the planes offering rides was the silver Panchito. Panchito, a restored World War II B-25J bomber, is housed at the museum. Owned by Larry Kelley of Cambridge, Md., the historic plane flew 19 missions from its base on Okinawa over Japan in the final months of the war, including the final combat mission on Aug. 12, 1945, just before the Japanese surrendered on Aug. 15.
