Are there any PQ-14s around today? Are any being restored to fly?

I believe there's one in the AirVenture museum in Oshkosh.

I've seen one at POF, and the NMUSAF has one as well.

We have one at Pima too. We also have one of the Helton Larks. The last of the failed attempts to make a civil plane out of the design after the war.

Culvers were also used during the feasibility phase of the FICON (IIRC), and the wing-tip attachment concept and mechanism, was tested using at least one Culver.

Whatever happened to that Val replica that Bob had?
