Posting in a hurry (from work!)...

P-51D hulk--to Brian O'Farrell then ??
BT-13--to Dan Jones for restoration
O-52A--to private owner in Indiana for restoration
TB-25N--to Steve Detch, thence Jerry Yagen, flying again
F2G--#74--to Crawford, now with private owner in Ohio, still at Odegaards
P-80A--to NMNA, on display
FG-1D--to Ken McBride
F-82E--to Arnold, then Polar, now with C&P Aviation, to fly
XP-82--to Reilly obo ??

F2G #57 was never Walt's, as has been noted. It went (after many other owners) to Bob Odegaard who restored it to fly. It is now with very private car collector Ron Pratte.

"Yes" on the second Mitchell, a stock TB-25N still in 50s USAF markings.

Yup... still there, unless it's moved very, very recently.

Cheers,

Christopher--

Static display only? It just might be worth an approach to Walter by the museum...his chief problem was always with aircraft being hazarded by being flown. Of course you may get the answer which is slightly shorter than yes, as they say...but nothing ventured, nothing gained. The Cutlass is in rough shape, but is a very rare survivor, and even in its present condition (heavily "demilled" before Walt got it), an impressive piece...

Who is the owner of the 82 that is being restored by Tom Reilly in Georgia?
