This may have been covered numerous times before but I had a heck of a time finding anything using the search function......Anyhow I did some very limited volunteer work at Air Heritage museum in Beaver Falls, PA in the late '90's. I've heard since then most of the planes have been sold/moved/etc. Anyone know where they went, status, recent pics, or any other info? These are the ones I remember that the Air Heritage museum no longer shows on their website:
Douglas A-20
Stinson (can't remember which one)
two P-39's
P-40
Westland Lysander
Fiesler Storch

Thanks!
Johnny

The A-20 is now at Geneseo:

I believe the Storch is now at Pima:

Not certain the whereabouts of the others.

Wow! Glad to see work is continuing on the A-20! Also, if that's the same Storch that was at Air Heritage, someone really worked fast! All that I saw when I was there was a very bare fuselage.
Thanks for the info! Hopefully some more will chime in!

I was there from the early 90's until around 2000. Here is what I have tracked down.

P-47 Hairless Joe-recently sold to Tillamook
P-51D Mustang-now painted in it's original markings and flying as the NACA aircraft
B-25 "Hoosier Honey"-flies with the Collings Foundation as "Tondelayo"
B-25/PBJ project-now on display at the NMNA in Pensacola, FL
Neptune-was converted to a fire bomber, crashed, and now in storage
L-21-was groundlooped, being rebuilt nearby
C-123-still active with the museum
A-20 in restoration at Geneseo
B-26-At MAPS Air Museum in Akron, OH
P-40-Pima
P-39 "Snooks 2nd" MAPS Air Museum, Akron OH
Storch-PIMA
Lysander is in Baltimore still a project
Stensin Reliant recently left.

Did I miss anything?

At their open house last month, in addition to the a/c listed on the website, there was an F-15 being refurbished for static and a Jet Provost.
