The Flying Heritage Collection near Seattle that's owned by paul Allen (Microsoft employee #2) also has one that's getting close to flying condition. They're also going to test fire a V2 soon, too! Very ambitious projects:RichP said:If I remember correctly wright patterson's museum has one that also is flyable. I seem to remember they retrofitted it with better engines for flight but have the original ones in it for display including the pull starter.
The swallow is one of those beautiful looking planes that to me rates up there with the P3 curtis hawk, P38 lightning, P40 warhawk, P51 mustang and F86 sabre, actually I would also include the B25 Mitchell and B58 Hustler in that list too.. One of the most off the wall ones though was the Gremlin....
