For a number of years two B-25s were on display in a park near the International airport of Mexico City. At the time this picture was taken their condition was poor to say the least... As can be seen in this picture the complete tail section of N9877C had been removed while the other B-25 (N9623C) had a "broken back". Both Mitchells were eventually removed from the park and transported to Santa Lucia Air Base where they were used in a rebuild project of a B-25 for the local museum there.
