What else does, or will FHC have coming out?

I have to say that Paul Allen's collection is stunning. What else can we possibly see displayed soon? My list:

P-38
P-39
Corsair
F4F
KI61
P-40K,N
P-51B,C

What is the goal of FHC? ... bigger, more, larger? ... Bombers? .. etc, etc.

Where do think Paul will stop? ... or has he stopped? ... I guess I should call him personally and ask him ...

He has a B-25 in restoration at Aero Trader in Chino. I saw it last year and it seemed pretty far along. I think the estimate for completion was with in one or two years.

I think the ME-163 is almost done as well.

The old web site had a substantial list of aircraft in the inventory. I can't remember most but I do remember the mention of a Harrier.

[Matt Gunsch]

the ones I have heard about are B-17E, P-38, Fw-190A, F-8 Crusaders, B-25,

I think you mean Me262 - the '163 is already on display.

Thanks Curtis, I'm wondering what, if any, direction Paul is taking here? Is he a fan of WW2 aircraft only? Fighters over bombers? .... I guess I just need to wait and see what he does next. Bombers are great, but they need much, much more hangar space. I see the inside of the hangar, but nothing about the outside. Does Paul have a larger hangar or hangars? .... Like I said, I better call Paul and ask him personally ... haha

Of all the warbirds to possibly choose from in the world, With what he has now, I would assume a Corsair and P-38 would be high on the list. With a P-39 and F4F following right behind ... any thoughts?

Didn't know the 163 was done yet. Anyone have some photos?

The Mossie is new to me. I hadn't heard about that. Where did that come from? Is it going to be rebuilt with Glynn/AvSpecs down in the Southern Hemisphere?

In addition to what's been mentioned, I've heard rumors of a Casa (HE-111) to be rebuilt with original Jumo motors, an F-105, and a Japanese Kate or Myrt.

Also, Allen bought the FW-189 project from Jim Pearce in England.

In the past, there was a rumor that Allen had a P-61 in storage somewhere, but I think that was false, as I haven't heard any more about that in at least 5 years. I doubt it was true.

Supposedly, there's lots of exciting stuff that is coming down the pike!

Too bad that Paul Allen couldn't finance the dropped Me-163 project that was going to be completed by XCOR. It was to have used a totally different engine (not T or C Stoff, though) to make it a safe airworthy replica.

The Komit looks good. I guess I missed that on the other thread.

The Mosquito is the ex TFC example.

Is that the one that has one wing that was sawed off in order to show it in a small room at a museum in England?
