Sun Aug 08, 2004 11:21 pm

How many survivng Helldivers are there?

Off the top of my head, I can think of the following:

SB2C-5 with the CAF
SB2C-3 with Yanks
A-25 with Helldivers, under restoration for the US Air Force Museum
SB2C-5 project with Kecin Smith, currently for sale.

Thanks for the info guys.

Helldivers, are visitors welcome out at the hangar? I'd sure love to see the A-25 before it goes to Dayton.
