The only one that seems to fly regularly is the singe-seat Tango Tango from the Willy Messerschmitt Museum in Germany.

I haven't seen any others. The Collings Foundation owns the dual-cockpit White 1 and their website says it will be on tour in 2011. They planned to offer rides in it, pending FAA approval.

The non-flying example is still for sale with the price reduced. I don't know about the other two aircraft.

If you've got around 1.6 Million, you can pick out your markings scheme and STORMBIRDS will be glad to finish #4 to your specifications. The majority of it is finshed and it's on it's wheels but still in primer green sans engines and instruments etc. etc.

#3 was a static build and went to the Evergreen Museum in McMinville, OR.

I can definitely answer the last two questions without a doubt. Yes and no......not particularly in that order.

The Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach has acquired #3. We hope to see it sometime this summer. :)

This is exciting news Ed. I presume it will be a flyer?

So that means all the flying replicas are spoken for? Collings, White 1 and now MAM.
