I honestly don't know the fate of that A3, I have photos of it but I have to respect The Fighter Factory guy's wishes never to post pics of inside our storage buildings. I will tell you this structurally it is in really good shape.....maybe just maybe it will go along with BLUE 4 to Germany for restoration of BLUE 4 ;)
 
Copy that Dave, and I absolutely, 100% respect the photo policy. Hopefully it'll see the light of day at some point. :)

If I make it out that way this summer, could I see the stuff in storage? I'll leave the camera at the hotel...I promise. ;)

To be honest with you Chunk, Ive been there for 5 years and just over the last year have been trusted enough to be let into these storage buildings. I will never compromise the trust that these guys have given me and am very lucky to be shown the cool stuff in there. I go in these buildings and do what is assigned to me and if I am lucky one of the Fighter Factory guys are in there with me explaining what is what. Im sorry bud but I can't let you into cold storage....it is not my place
 
Now that the secret has been let out publicly, I can post these photos. This is our new Fiat 46 built by Fiat in 1950

Was this aircraft based out of Republic Airport on Long Island, NY? In the rear cockpit is there non functioning "panic button" mounted on the instrument panel?
 
Possibly... I remember it was owned by a doctor and was there where I was taking my flying lessons or before. The hanger it was in is now the American Airpower Museum. I always wondered what happened to it.

This is the one then as I remember that it was owned by a doctor from somewhere in New York state.
