What long term restorations can we look forward to being completed in 2010? The NASM's He 219 hopefully will be one of them.

I am hoping for the ex-CWH Seafire XV, PR503. This has been reportedly about a year away from completion every year since the mid 1980s, so I'd call it long term. They ran the engine in 2008 and said -- you guessed it -- "next year".

Mike Potter's Lysander, perhaps.

I know Dave still says that they're on track to fly Fifi around "AirSho" 2010 barring any delays in engine delivery and testing.

My guesses from Chino (all but three should fly):

POF P-59, C-47 & Northrop Alpha, Twilight Tear, A-36, Dago Red, Yanks SB2C & F-14, A-20 Havoc, and a certain top secret FW-190 replica.

I'm going to guess that the 3 that won't fly are the Helldiver, F-14, and Northrop Alpha. Am I correct?

Also, does it look like the POF will get the P-59 flying in time for the POF airshow in May?

The three that won't fly are the F-14, Helldiver, and A-20 all at Yanks.

I think I read somewhere that Fighter Factory's P-39 is due to be completed this year.
