I LOVE the Kingfisher! I don't know why, but itis just cool. So far I have seen the ones in the NASM, and on the Battleship North Carolina. I am making a trip soon to NMNA, so I will add that to the list as well. Is there any word on the one that used to be in YANKS restoration shop?

are there any in private hands (meaning will any fly again)?

I have heard rumors that the Fighter Factory has one down under being restored but I have never seen any pics of it. But they also show on their website that they are looking for parts for a Vengence. Wouldn't that be neat to see those two flying someday.

If you search the forum, there's extensive discussion on the Kingfisher restoration plans. My current understanding is we will see some sometime. But not soon.

Both Vengeance and Kingfisher rebuild projects at Precision Aerospace (see Classic Wings for a report). The Kingfisher is temporarily on hold, the Vengeance not yet started. There are multiple identities involved.

Cheers,
