I do however, think it would be neat to make a few replica's once they break it down for final restoration, like the 262's, Oscar's, etc. I would love to see some replica Raidens at airshows!

Enthusiastically agreed! I've always thought the Jack was cool looking airplane. But as BDK says, it's a relatively obscure type (to the general public at least) and there probably isn't enough interest in seeing one fly to justify the cost of the rebuild. It would still be nice to see her get a comprehensive static restoration, but at least she's currently well cared for.

Still there. It is a privately owned project by one of the staff.

POF isn't the NASM, so the likelihood of that is very remote. It has a nice paint job, so I'd guess that's about all we're likely to see for some time to come.

I know, was hoping for a update. Got to find out who he is, I dont think that he is part of the N3N group I got online.
