Going there on WW II Weekend (June 7). Can't wait to see it. They are rare though (four examples in existance worldwide, the other three are static restorations) so I have mixed emotions on seeing it fly. Tough call.

One is at the National Air and Space Museum at the museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center near Washington D.C.

The other is on outside display at the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in Beijing, China.

I agree with Syscom and Erich.

Besides the Corsair, this is my FAVORITE plane. I would be quite moved to see her fly. But I would be crushed to see it crash. Why take the chance?
 
Let me refrase. Is there anyone close to the project to get a better update and time line on the restoration. This will be a hell of an aircraft to see in the air.
Also are there any rare german twins out there flying. I got to see the caf's he-111 beror it crashed but that's the only one.
 
This restoration project was at the Reading [Pa] Airshow last year. Me, TO [Steve] and njaco [Chris] had the pleasure
of seeing it. They've come a long way in a year. I'd like to see this baby back in the air, too.

Being one of my 3 favorite planes, I'd be happy to see the engies run and taxi. Of this type, to few remain. And one of the more complicated planes trying to be flown; more complex, more potential problems.
