Brewster Buffalo?

Wed Mar 20, 2024 2:51 pm

A few years ago there was a rumor of the remains of three F2A Buffalos stashed somewhere in California as well as a third, badly damaged Finnish machine found in Russia. Anybody know anything?

I love that they are displaying it "As found"!
A time capsule.

The Finnish one I mentioned is supposed to be a different machine than 372.

I like how it’s displayed, also.

There is a pretty decent replica in the Dutch National Military Museum, but they have moved it into storage again. At least, I did not see it during my most recent visit in 2023.
