Greetings, Mathieu!


Unless someone has heard otherwise, I believe the Potez 63 is still based in Weslaco, Texas, USA.

The FAA registration is still in Jean Garric's name:

https://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquir ... rTxt=6311K

This aircraft has occasionally been listed for sale at Barnstormers.com under "Warbird". I believe I saw it listed within the last 2 months. I'll try to remember to post at WIX if I spot an updated listing.

I've never seen any proof or claims from a primary source that it "flew". It did hop off the runway and
set back down back in 2012. The photos in links above this post from Mr. Furline are from that period.
A really curious history...
