I was remembering this week, this will only be the fourth Razorback 47 restored to fly.

1. POF
2. Big Stud- restored by Dick Martin for Champlin now grounded Seattle Museum of Flight.
3 Little Demon, restored by Ray Stutsman, now owned by Charles Somers.
4. Air Corps.



My pedantic self desires to give a shout out to Republic Aviation's efforts at restoring an actual fifth razorback to fly (albeit for a European tour way back in 1963).

She is, of course, 42-23278, now displayed at Dayton.

I have lost the source of this pic, so mods may/should delete if the situation warrants.

I haven't been keeping up on Australian restorations, BUT, there were a couple Razorback Thunderbolts going together as of about 5-6 years ago. I wonder if they are still active, I keep coming up with the same google story from years ago.

Jim, they are: there was a story on them (and the P-38s) in Classic Wings issue 122.
